I have a script I’m trying to run that will grab the IP address and Computer name and popup their default mail client. I can’t figure out how to have the mailto grab the variables.. Any help would be much appreciated!
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objEnv = objShell.Environment("Process")
strComputer = objEnv("COMPUTERNAME")
strUser = "Scanner.User"
strPass = "SomePassword"
Set colAccounts = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & ",computer")
Set objUser = colAccounts.Create("user", strUser)
objUser.SetPassword strPass
Const ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD = &h10000
objPasswordExpirationFlag = ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD
objUser.Put "userFlags", objPasswordExpirationFlag
objUser.SetInfo
Set Group = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Administrators,group")
Group.Add(objUser.ADspath)
temp = "select IPAddress from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration "& _
"where IPEnabled=TRUE"
temp2 = "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}"
set IPConfigSet = GetObject(temp2).ExecQuery(temp)
for each IPConfig in IPConfigSet
if Not IsNull(IPConfig.IPAddress) then
for i=LBound(IPConfig.IPAddress) to UBound(IPConfig.IPAddress)
objShell.Run("mailto:MyEmail#address.com&subject=strComputer&body=IPConfig.IPAddress(i)")
Msgbox IPConfig.IPAddress(i)
next
end if
next
You need to use ampersand (VBScript's Concatenation Operator) to generate your mailto URI.
objShell.Run("mailto:MyEmail#address.com&subject=" & strComputer & "&body=" & IPConfig.IPAddress(i))

Hi could any one point me in the right direction to create Vbscript to query computer name and then write the query result to registry HKLM\software\test dword or string
this is what i have got so far i just dont know how to link the query then add the query result to the registry -thanks in advance

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
Set objReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
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
Here is what I came up with. I had to add the "On Error Resume Next" otherwise it would bring up an error box. Here is the code with the modified piece:

What a great idea. I redid the script with your suggestion. It however has another problem. The new script only returns the last computer in the computer OU. How do you correctly pass each instance from the Dictionary to the If statement?

Else

End If
Next
Set objWMIService = Nothing
End Function
Before you connect to the remote computer, you need to ping it to see if it's online. Here's a function that does that.
Function Reachable(strComputer) 'Test Connectivty to computer
Dim wmiQuery, objWMIService, objPing, objStatus
wmiQuery = "Select * From Win32_PingStatus Where Address = '" & strComputer & "'"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
Set objPing = objWMIService.ExecQuery(wmiQuery)
For Each objStatus in objPing
If IsNull(objStatus.StatusCode) Or objStatus.Statuscode<>0 Then
Reachable = False 'if computer is unreachable, return false
Else
Reachable = True 'if computer is reachable, return true
End If
Next
End Function
Then to use this function you can do a
If Reachable("computername") Then
Set objWMIService = GetObject...etc
Edit:
You'll want to add the reachable function inside your For loop and send one computer at a time to the function.
You also might want to query AD for only computers that are active. For example:
Set objFileToWrite = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile("\\cheeng.net\winc\IT\NuanceKey.txt",8,true)
arrComps = QueryAD
For Each strComputer in arrComps
If Reachable(strComputer) Then
Wscript.Echo strComputer & " Computer is Reachable!"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colComputer = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each objComputer in colComputer
objFileToWrite.Write VBNewLine & "User Name = " & objComputer.UserName _
& VBNewLine & "Computer Name = " & objComputer.Name
'You could also use strComputer here instead of objComputer.Name
Else 'If not reachable
Wscript.Echo strComputer & " Computer is Unreachable!"
End If 'End Reachable If
Next 'Loop to next computer
Function QueryAD
Const ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE = 2
Dim objDictionary, colItems, strComputer
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
strDomain = objRootDSE.Get("DefaultNamingContext")
Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")

objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"
Set objCOmmand.ActiveConnection = objConnection
objCommand.CommandText = _

'This will get all computers except disabled computers from AD
objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 1000
objCommand.Properties("Searchscope") = ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE
Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute
objRecordSet.MoveFirst
Do Until objRecordSet.EOF

I am attempting to create an application that will allow me to input a username and switch that user's default printer by modifying the registry under HKEY_USERS\UserSID. I cannot seem write values to that section of the registry though. Perhaps it's a Windows limitation? Here's the code I have so far.
Dim strComputer = "."
Dim objWMIService As Object = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Dim theUsername As String = TextBox1.Text
Dim theDomain As String = TextBox2.Text
Dim objAccount As Object = objWMIService.Get("Win32_UserAccount.Name='" & theUsername & "',Domain='" & theDomain & "'")
Dim theport As RegistryKey
theport = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Devices")
Dim val As Object = theport.GetValue(ListBox1.SelectedItem)
theport.Close()
Dim theSid As String = objAccount.sid
Dim theKey As RegistryKey = Registry.Users.OpenSubKey(theSid + "\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Windows", True)
I don't think that there is some Windows limitation, because I wrote to HKEY_USERS\SIDs many times. But I used for this purpose the vbscript. Also I should warn you that you can only read&write to Users registry if they are logged. For not logged users - use the ActiveSetup.
There is my script on vbs which writes some registry to all logged users. Hope you could adapt it to VB.NET.
