mapdrives script use username and password - vbscript

I am trying to use a VBScript to map network drives. The script is working just fine, except when I am trying to modified it in order to use different credentials (username and password).
Option Explicit
Dim WSHNetwork, strMsg, sUser, sPass
sUser = "user12"
sPass = "testpassword"
Set WSHNetwork = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Network")
Call Unmap
Call TryMapDrive("N", "\\192.168.0.10\Music")
Call TryMapDrive("M", "\\192.168.0.10\Movies")
Call TryMapDrive("P", "\\192.168.0.10\Pictures")
Call TryMapDrive("W", "\\192.168.0.10\Work")
Call TryMapDrive("S", "\\192.168.0.10\Store")
strMsg = ShowNetwork() + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + EnumNetworkDrives()
MsgBox strMsg, vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Network Properties"
Function TryMapDrive(cDrive, strShare, sUser, sPass)
On Error Resume Next
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive cDrive & ":", strShare, sUser, sPass
TryMapDrive = Err.Number = 0
End Function
Function ShowNetwork
Dim strMsg
strMsg = "UserName" & Chr(9) & "= " & WSHNetwork.UserName & vbCrLf & _
"ComputerName" & Chr(9) & "= " & WSHNetwork.ComputerName
ShowNetwork = strMsg
End Function
Function EnumNetworkDrives
Dim colDrives, strMsg, i
Set colDrives = WSHNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives
strMsg = "Current network drive connections: " & vbCrLf
For i = 0 To colDrives.Count - 1 Step 2
strMsg = strMsg & vbCRLF & colDrives(i) & Chr(9) & colDrives(i+1)
Next
EnumNetworkDrives = strMsg
End Function
Function Unmap
On Error Resume Next
Dim objNetwork, colDrives, i
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set colDrives = objNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives
For i = 0 To colDrives.Count -1 Step 2
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive colDrives.Item(i)
Next
End Function
When I am trying to start it with sPass and sUser it fails with the message below. Without trying different credentials, the script is working fine.

VBScript MapNetworkDrive Error Handling

I am attempting to write a small script in VBScript just purely for my home use, which is run prior to a scheduled backup in Macrium Reflect.
I am stuck on one seemingly small issue and that is error handling when the Network Drive is physically disconnected, i.e. the cable is not attached.
At the moment the script check to see if the Drive is already attached, if the drive is not attached then a message is displayed telling the user to connect the cable and press YES.
Now, all things being well the user would have connected the cable as asked and then pressed the YES button but I want to catch the times when YES was pressed before attaching the drive's cable.
Within the code there's an 'On Error Resume Next' which masks this eventuality, so I comment out this line & indeed I get an Error 'The Network Path Was Not Found' on line 40:
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strRemotePath, _
I want to use this caught error to display an alert to the user that the drive has not yet been connected, please connect and retry & KEEP RETRYING until the drive is actually connected.
My problem is I cannot seem to find where to add any error handling code to display this message.
Here's my code:
Option Explicit
Dim strDriveLetter, strRemotePath, strUser, strPassword, strProfile, strName, objNetwork, objShell, CheckDrive, AlreadyConnected, intDrive
' The section sets the variables.
strDriveLetter = "X:"
strRemotePath = "\\192.168.1.1\shared"
strUser = "user"
strPassword = "password"
strProfile = "true"
strName = "Backup Drive"
' This sections creates two objects:
' objShell and objNetwork and counts the drives
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set CheckDrive = objNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives()
' This section deals with a For ... Next loop
' See how it compares the enumerated drive letters
' with strDriveLetter
On Error Resume Next
AlreadyConnected = False
For intDrive = 0 To CheckDrive.Count - 1 Step 2
If CheckDrive.Item(intDrive) =strDriveLetter _
Then AlreadyConnected = True
Next
If AlreadyConnected = False Then
Dim result
result = MsgBox("A Backup Is Now Due But The Drive Is Not Connected." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Please Connect The Drive & Press YES To Continue." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "If You Wish To Postpone Backup Then Press NO Now.", 4 + 32, "BACKUP DRIVE NOT CONNECTED")
If result = 7 Then
WScript.Quit
Else
Call MapDRV
End If
Sub MapDRV()
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strRemotePath, _
strProfile, strUser, strPassword
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.NameSpace(strDriveLetter).Self.Name = strName
End Sub
WScript.Quit
The error handling code is something along these lines:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
'error handling:
'ALERT USER HERE
Err.Clear
End If
Any help would be appreciated
Err Object (VBScript) reference does not give useful guide. You need to trap an error or success separate for every run-time error prone action.
Common rule (best practice): keep error handling disabled via On Error GoTo 0 and enable it only for suspected actions.
For instance, there could me more than one reason why MapNetworkDrive method could fail (server off-line, user blocked, wrong/changed password etc.):
Sub MapDRV
Dim errResult
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
errResult = ""
On Error Resume Next
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strRemotePath _
, strProfile, strUser, strPassword
If Err.Number = 0 Then
On Error GoTo 0
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.NameSpace(strDriveLetter).Self.Name = strName
Else
errResult = Err.Number & " 0x" & Hex(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Source
errResult = errResult & vbNewLine & Err.Description
On Error GoTo 0
MsgBox errResult, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Error occurred"
End If
End Sub
The whole script then could look as follows:
Option Explicit
On Error GoTo 0
Dim strResult: strResult = Wscript.ScriptName
Dim strDriveLetter, strRemotePath, strUser, strPassword, strProfile , strName _
, objNetwork, objShell, CheckDrive, AlreadyConnected, intDrive
' The section sets the variables.
strDriveLetter = "X:"
strRemotePath = "\\192.168.1.1\shared"
strUser = "user"
strPassword = "password"
strProfile = "true"
strName = "Backup Drive"
' This sections creates two objects:
' objShell and objNetwork and counts the drives
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
' This section deals with a For ... Next loop
' See how it compares the enumerated drive letters with strDriveLetter
Dim result, toShare
AlreadyConnected = False
Do While AlreadyConnected = False
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & "--- new check"
AlreadyConnected = False
Set CheckDrive = objNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives()
For intDrive = 0 To CheckDrive.Count - 1 Step 2
If CheckDrive.Item(intDrive) = strDriveLetter Then
AlreadyConnected = True
toShare = CheckDrive.Item(intDrive + 1)
End If
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & CheckDrive.Item(intDrive)
strResult = strResult & vbTab & CheckDrive.Item(intDrive + 1)
Next
If AlreadyConnected Then Exit Do
result = MsgBox("A Backup Is Now Due But The Drive Is Not Connected." _
& vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "If you wish to ..." _
& vbNewLine & vbTab & "... postpone backup then press ABORT." _
& vbNewLine & vbTab & "... backup to " & strRemotePath & " then press RETRY." _
& vbNewLine & "Otherwise, please connect the drive & press IGNORE to continue." _
, vbAbortRetryIgnore + vbQuestion, "BACKUP DRIVE NOT CONNECTED")
Select Case result
Case vbAbort
Call scriptQuit
Case vbRetry
Call MapDRV
Case Else
' The Case Else clause is not required
End Select
Loop
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & "copy here to " & toShare
Sub MapDRV
' no need to redefine: WshNetwork Object is already defined
' Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Dim errResult
On Error Resume Next
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strRemotePath _
, strProfile, strUser, strPassword
If Err.Number = 0 Then
On Error GoTo 0
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.NameSpace(strDriveLetter).Self.Name = strName
Else
errResult = Err.Number & " 0x" & Hex(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Source
errResult = errResult & vbNewLine & Err.Description
On Error GoTo 0
MsgBox errResult, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Error occurred"
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & errResult
End If
End Sub
Call scriptQuit
Sub scriptQuit
Wscript.Echo strResult
Wscript.Quit
End Sub
Please note that strResult variable is there merely for debugging purposes to see next output:

create folder(trusted), copy of MDE and shortcut

I have put together a script that I think will work, but the only code I know is some VBA. Never tried to create a vbscript before, so my apologies if some errors are obvious, but pointers and corrections would be appreciated.
I am hoping I can give users in my company a link to this script and have them run it. It will create a folder on their C Drive, make it a trusted location, copy a database frontend from the server into it and create a shortcut on their desktop linking to the new file. (I'm hoping the file will auto-update when a new version is made - I think that bit works though).
The code comes from various sources, including my own addled mind but would I need to download Visual Studio to test this? Slightly concerned as it includes creating a registry key and I don't know how to stop the code if it all goes horribly wrong. I don't even know how to break a loop (although I think I read somewhere you need to hit Esc twice). Any tips on how to signify which sub is the main one to run on start would be good too.
EDIT : Code has been amended to my end result incase it is of use to others. Please use with caution. The 'update' vbs deletes the folder created on the local drive.

There is also a separate Update vbs which is what runs when the link is clicked. This checks to see if the 'created date' of the database on the server is newer than that on the local drive.

Running command on remote machine using WMI

I am trying to run following VB Script to run command on remote machine. I want this script to wait until command is executed completely.

pro = WScript.Arguments.Item(4)
Call RemoteExecute(strServer, strUser, strPassword, strCommand,pro)
But problem I am facing is that, script run the process in background but not waiting for it.
Another point that I do not understand is, when try to echo following:
Wscript.Echo objProcess.TargetInstance.Name
Wscript.Echo objProcess.TargetInstance.ExecutablePath
Wscript.Echo "proc:" & objProcess.TargetInstance.ProcessID
it does no echo anything, whereas following are properly echoed with a nice pop up
Wscript.Echo "1"
Wscript.Echo "int:" & intProcessID
Can someone please resolve my problem, may be this problem is naive for someone, sorry I am naive here.

Teamviewer VBScript Pinging Computers

I am looking for a way to have my current VBScript (it is very big and I don't know if there is a way to pair it down) that currently creates a list of all computers in active directory and outputs it to a file. Once that is completed the rest of my script then calls that text file and creates another one with all the computer names and date/time/ and what the teamviewer ID is by means of either Windows 7 reg key or Windows XP. The issue I am running into is that if a computer doesn't exist in the domain anymore the script places the previous value into the computer that doesn't exist which is creating duplicates.
I would love to find a way to edit my script and ping each of the computers in the original text file and remove the computers out of it that are not online. I will attach my script. Let me know if you have any questions.

The cause of the issue is that objReg retains its value from the previous iteration when

fails due to a non-reachable computer (which is masked by On Error Resume Next).
One way to deal with the issue is to set objReg to Nothing before trying to connect to the remote host and check if the variable still is Nothing afterwards:
On Error Resume Next
Set objReg = Nothing
Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
If Not objReg Is Nothing Then
'check for TeamViewer ID
Else
'remote host unavailable
End If
A more elegant solution to the problem (one that doesn't require the infamous On Error Resume Next) is to ping the remote computer before trying to connect to it:
Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/cimv2")
qry = "SELECT * FROM Win32_PingStatus WHERE Address='" & strComputer & "'"
For Each response In wmi.ExecQuery(qry)
If IsObject(response) Then
hostAvailable = (response.StatusCode = 0)
Else
hostAvailable = False
End If
Next
If hostAvailable Then
Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
'check for TeamViewer ID
Else
'remote host unavailable
End If

attempting to run multiple scripts, have them all output to one file, and all use the same IP address

I have a couple questions and am hoping this is the correct place.
basically what i want to do is to be able to remotely get info about a domain computer.
i have 3 seperate scripts that give me 1( IP configuration, comp name ... ), 2 ( installed software ) and 3 ( mapped drives ).
the first two ask for the IP/computer name and the 3rd i have to input that into the script... i would like to only have to input the IP address once and have it work for all 3
secondly i would like the output file that this info is put into to be named like the installed software script does and then just have the other two scripts add ( ammend ) to the already created output.
I am super new to vbs so any help would be awesome

Again thank you
Can you put all the three scripts as 1 single script? In that case, you will need to input the IP address only once.
Or else write another script which will ask for the IP address and call these scripts by using cscript and passing the IPaddress to them as a parameter. Try this code for that:
strcomputer = inputbox("Enter the IP address")
set obj1 = createobject("wscript.shell")
set obj2 = createobject("wscript.shell")
set obj3 = createobject("wscript.shell")
pgm1 = "cscript script1.vbs " & strcomputer
pgm2 = "cscript script2.vbs " & strcomputer
pgm3 = "cscript script3.vbs " & strcomputer
obj1.run pgm1,3,true
obj2.run pgm2,3,true
obj3.run pgm3,3,true
set obj1 = nothing
set obj2 = nothing
set obj3 = nothing
In above code, script1.vbs, script2.vbs, script3.vbs are your 3 scripts and you are executing them one by one using a new script.
In script1.vbs, add this line of code :
strcomputer = wscript.Arguments.item(0)
It will store the 1rst argument that you have passed from your new script to script1.vbs, into the variable 'strcomputer'(in your case, the IP address).
Similarly, in both script2.vbs and script3.vbs also, add the statement
strcomputer = wscript.Arguments.item(0)
Regarding your output file, I am not sure what you are asking for. Maybe this can help:
Use the below to write to a file (overwrites if data is already present):
Set fso1 = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
Set file1 = fso1.OpenTextFile("C:\New\textfile1.txt",2,true)
Use the below to add data or append to a file (does NOT overwrite):
Set fso1 = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
Set file1 = fso1.OpenTextFile("C:\New\textfile1.txt",8,true)
Use the below to read from a file:
Set fso1 = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
Set file1 = fso1.OpenTextFile("C:\New\textfile1.txt",1,true)
