Running command on remote machine using WMI - vbscript

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.
Here is my code:
Function RemoteExecute(strServer, strUser, strPassword, strCommand,pro)
Dim objLocator , objWMIService
wbemImpersonationLevelImpersonate = 3
wbemAuthenticationLevelPktPrivacy = 6
RemoteExecute = -1
Set objLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
On Error Resume Next
Set objWMIService = objLocator.ConnectServer(strServer,"root\cimv2", strUser,strPassword)
objWMIService.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = wbemImpersonationLevelImpersonate
objWMIService.Security_.AuthenticationLevel = wbemAuthenticationLevelPktPrivacy
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Failed to connect to " &strServer, "Error # " & CStr(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Description & vbcrlf & _
"Please check if " & strServer & " is pingable from this client & credentials are correct"
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0
RemoteExecute = -1
Set objWMIService = nothing
Set objLocator = nothing
Exit function
end if
' Configure the process to show a window
Set objStartup = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ProcessStartup")
Set objConfig = objStartup.SpawnInstance_
objConfig.ShowWindow = SW_NORMAL
Set Process = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Process")
'Process.Create Syntax: '
' uint32 Create(
'[in] string CommandLine,
'[in] string CurrentDirectory,
'[in] Win32_ProcessStartup ProcessStartupInformation,
'[out] uint32 ProcessId
');
'Return code Description
'0 Successful Completion
'2 Access Denied
'3 Insufficient Privilege
'8 Unknown failure
'9 Path Not Found
'21 Invalid Parameter
intReturn = Process.Create(strCommand,NULL, objConfig, intProcessID)
If intReturn <> 0 Then
Wscript.Echo "Process could not be created." & _
vbNewLine & "Command line: " & strCommand & _
vbNewLine & "Return value: " & intReturn
Wscript.Quit
Else
Wscript.Echo "Process created." & _
vbNewLine & "Command line: " & strCommand & _
vbNewLine & "Process ID: " & intProcessID
RemoteExecute = intProcessID
End If
' Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strServer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colMonitoredProcesses = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery_("SELECT *" +" FROM __InstanceDeletionEvent " +"WITHIN 5 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Process' " )
Do
Set objProcess = colMonitoredProcesses.NextEvent
Wscript.Echo objProcess.TargetInstance.Name
Wscript.Echo objProcess.TargetInstance.ExecutablePath
Wscript.Echo "1"
Wscript.Echo "proc:" & objProcess.TargetInstance.ProcessID
Wscript.Echo "int:" & intProcessID
If objProcess.TargetInstance.ProcessID = intProcessID Then
Wscript.Echo "I will end the monitoring of the process "
Wscript.Echo pro & objProcess.TargetInstance.Name
Exit Do
end If
Loop
Set objWMIService = nothing
Set objLocator = nothing
End Function
strServer = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
strUser = WScript.Arguments.Item(1)
strPassword = WScript.Arguments.Item(2)
strCommand = WScript.Arguments.Item(3)
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.

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:

Out of memory error in vbs scripts

I've been facing this dialogue box just after I start my script
Script: C:\konica.vbs
Line: 14
Char: 1
Error: Out of Memory: 'GetObject'
Code: 800A0007
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
This is my script:
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strCurrDir = Replace(WScript.ScriptFullName, WScript.ScriptName, "")
'### Konica ###
strIPAddress = "192.168.110.168"
strComputer = "."
strPrinterName = "Konica"
strDriverName = "KONICA MINOLTA C353 Series PS"
strLocation = "Konica"
strInfFile = "\\stp\HHard\Printers\KONICA MINOLTA\XP(x86)\BHC353PSWinx86_6500RU\BHC353PSWinx86_6500RU\KOAZXA__.INF"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(LoadDriver)}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Printer Where PortName = 'IP_" & strIPAddress & "' ")
For Each objPrinter in colPrinters
MsgBox "Unable to install printer, printer already found on port 'IP_" & strIPAddress & "'." & VbCrlf & VbCrlf & "Found: " & objPrinter.DeviceID, vbExclamation + vbSystemModal, "Printer Port already assigned"
WSCript.Quit 114001
Next
'MsgBox(strIPAddress)
Set objNewPort = objWMIService.Get("Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort").SpawnInstance_
objNewPort.Name = "IP_" & strIPAddress
objNewPort.Protocol = 1
objNewPort.HostAddress = strIPAddress
objNewPort.PortNumber = "9100"
objNewPort.SNMPEnabled = False
objNewPort.Put_
wshShell.Run "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b """ & strPrinterName & """ /f """ & strInfFile & """ /r ""IP_" & strIPAddress & """ /m """ & strDriverName & """", 1, True
Set colPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Printer Where DeviceID = '" & strPrinterName & "' ")
For Each objPrinter in colPrinters
objPrinter.Location = strLocation
objPrinter.Put_
Next
You can see, that it script for installing in my system printer 'Konica'. In other system, it script works fine. Where mistake? Please help ?
I'm probably on a wrong tangent here but try giving the MsgBox a variable and then using code that doesn't do anything.
For example:
MsgBox "Unable to install printer, printer already found on port 'IP_" & strIPAddress & "'." & VbCrlf & VbCrlf & "Found: " & objPrinter.DeviceID, vbExclamation + vbSystemModal, "Printer Port already assigned"
becomes
x = MsgBox "Unable to install printer, printer already found on port 'IP_" & strIPAddress & "'." & VbCrlf & VbCrlf & "Found: " & objPrinter.DeviceID, vbExclamation + vbSystemModal, "Printer Port already assigned"
Then you could write
If x Then
Else
End If
Which would run and do nothing because x is always x but there's nothing to run inside the If statement.
That error means that your system is low on memory. The line numbering is questionable in your post, but I would venture a guess that the size of the printer driver is pretty large.

Remotely Killing a process in 1 shot

I have this code to remotely kill a certain process on 5 servers. My problem is that i want to cut it short and kill the process in all servers in 1 click. The code now asks if i am sure i want to kill the process, then kills the process, then asks if i want to proceed to the next server. i would like to just have a messge saying, "Killing process on all servers" and done
`Option Explicit
Dim objWMIService, objProcess, colProcess
Dim strProcessKill, item
Dim strComputer(4)
Dim ans, killFLag
strComputer(0) = "server1"
strComputer(1) = "server2"
strComputer(2) = "server3"
strComputer(3) = "server4"
strComputer(4) = "server5"
strProcessKill = "'notepad.exe'"
For item = 0 To 4 Step 1
if MsgBox("Are you sure you want to kill " & strProcessKill & " on " & strCOmputer(item) & "?" , vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbYes then
killFLag = 1
end if
if KillFlag = 1 then
msgbox "KILLING PROCESS ON" & strComputer(item)
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer(item) & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & strProcessKill)
For Each objProcess in colProcess
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
WSCript.Echo "Just killed process " & strProcessKill & " on " & strComputer(item)
else
WScript.Quit
end if
Next`
Move the for loop down so that you are not prompted for each server. Something like this should work
Option Explicit
Dim objWMIService, objProcess, colProcess
Dim strProcessKill, item
Dim strComputer(4)
Dim ans, killFLag
strComputer(0) = "server1"
strComputer(1) = "server2"
strComputer(2) = "server3"
strComputer(3) = "server4"
strComputer(4) = "server5"
strProcessKill = "'notepad.exe'"
if MsgBox("Are you sure you want to kill " & strProcessKill & " on all servers?" , vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbYes then
killFLag = 1
end if
if KillFlag = 1 then
msgbox "KILLING PROCESS ON ALL SERVERS"
For item = 0 To 4 Step 1
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer(item) & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcess = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = " & strProcessKill)
For Each objProcess in colProcess
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
next
msgBox "Done"
else
WScript.Quit
end if

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. The new DB name MUST NOT be the same as the one it is replacing. It might run a little fast, but this is as far as I have taken this.

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)
