The agent probably runs under a different user-account (i.e. not you) and then doesn't have permissions to the files/folders you're using.
When you run it outside, it uses your logged on user's permissions and executes fine.

I am trying to rename a file and was using the below code but it does not seem to work. Can someone please tell me why? What is the correct way to rename a file from VBScript?
FSO.GetFile("MyFile.txt).Name = "Hello.txt"
I am using this thread for reference: Rename files without copying in same folder
You can rename the file using FSO by moving it: MoveFile Method.
Dim Fso
Set Fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Fso.MoveFile "A.txt", "B.txt"
I see only one reason your code to not work, missed quote after file name string:
VBScript:
FSO.GetFile("MyFile.txt[missed_quote_here]).Name = "Hello.txt"
Yes you can do that.

From what I understand, your context is to download from ALM.
In this case, ALM saves the files under:
C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Temp/TD_80/ALM_VERSION/random_string/Attach/artefact_type/ID
where :
ALM_VERSION is the version of your alm installation, e.g 12.53.2.0_952
artefact_type is the type of the artefact, e.g : REQ
ID is the ID of the artefact
Herebelow a code sample which connects to an instance of ALM, domain 'DEFAUT', project 'MY_PROJECT', gets all the attachments from a REQ with id 6 and saves them in c:/tmp. It's ruby code, but it's easy to transcribe to VBSctript
require 'win32ole'
require 'fileutils'
# login to ALM and domain/project
alm_server = ENV['CURRRENT_ALM_SERVER']
tdc = WIN32OLE.new('TDApiOle80.TDConnection')
tdc.InitConnectionEx(alm_server)
username, password = ENV['ALM_CREDENTIALS'].split(':')
tdc.Login(username, password)
tdc.Connect('DEFAULT', 'MY_PROJECT')
# get a handle for the Requirements
reqFact = tdc.ReqFactory
# get Requirement with ID=6
req = reqFact.item(6)
# get a handle for the attachment of REQ
att = req.Attachments
# get a handle for the list of attachements
attList = att.NewList("")
thePath= 'c:/tmp'
# for each attachment:
attList.each do |el|
clientPath = nil
# download the attachment to its default location
el.Load true, clientPath
baseName = File.basename(el.FileName)
dirName = File.dirname(el.FileName)
puts "file downloaded as : #{baseName}\n in Folder #{dirName}"
FileUtils.mkdir_p thePath
puts "now moving #{baseName} to #{thePath}"
FileUtils.mv el.FileName, thePath
end
The output:
=> file downloaded as : REQ_6_20191112_143346.png

I am trying to get a .vbs to download files from google drive as I have had it working as a macro inside excel. It would just be overall easier without needing to go into excel to run the script. I have tried to Frankenstein the working code within the macro which downloads the file to downloads with some other but have got lost. I am still a rookie so if the code is less than ideal would appreciate some feedback.
As a note: The userprofile was attempted to be set as variable for multiple users with differently mapped download folders to still run it.
Ran macro in excel which achieved downloading the file.
Tried to create .vbs with similar code and failed

I am using this code to zip all files in a folder into a newly created .zip file:
Dim FileNameZip, FolderName
Dim filename As String, DefPath As String
Dim oApp As Object
(defining all paths needed)
'Create empty Zip File
NewZip (FileNameZip)
Set oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
'Copy the files to the compressed folder
oApp.Namespace(FileNameZip).CopyHere oApp.Namespace(FolderName).items
'Keep script waiting until Compressing is done
On Error Resume Next
Do Until oApp.Namespace(FileNameZip).items.Count = oApp.Namespace(FolderName).items.Count
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
Loop
This works without problems as long as my target folder is different from the folder where my files are.
But I have a problem when I try to take all files from a folder, put them into .zip and have the archive generated in the same folder - it creates the archive and then tries to put it into itself, which of course fails.
I am looking for a way to zip all files from a folder except this one newly created.
I looked here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff869597.aspx but this looks very Outlook-specific and I have no idea how to apply this to a Windows folder.
Rather than add all files at once, which will include the zip file you create, loop through the files with the FileSystemObject and compare their names against the zip file name before adding to the zip:
Sub AddFilesToZip()
Dim fso As Object, zipFile As Object, objShell As Object
Dim fsoFolder As Object, fsoFile As Object
Dim timerStart As Single
Dim folderPath As String, zipName As String
folderPath = "C:\Users\darre\Desktop\New folder\" ' folder to zip
zipName = "myzipfile.zip" ' name of the zip file
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") ' create an fso to loop through the files
Set zipFile = fso.CreateTextFile(folderPath & zipName) ' create the zip file
zipFile.WriteLine Chr(80) & Chr(75) & Chr(5) & Chr(6) & String(18, 0)
zipFile.Close
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set fsoFolder = fso.GetFolder(folderPath)
For Each fsoFile In fsoFolder.Files ' loop through the files...
Debug.Print fsoFile.name
If fsoFile.name <> zipName Then ' and check it's not the zip file before adding them
objShell.Namespace("" & folderPath & zipName).CopyHere fsoFile.Path
timerStart = Timer
Do While Timer < timerStart + 2
Application.StatusBar = "Zipping, please wait..."
DoEvents
Loop
End If
Next
' clean up
Application.StatusBar = ""
Set fsoFile = Nothing
Set fsoFolder = Nothing
Set objShell = Nothing
Set zipFile = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
MsgBox "Zipped", vbInformation
End Sub
I would create the zip file in the temporary folder and finally move it to the destination folder. Two notes worth mentioning:
1- The approach of looping until the Item counts are the same in the folder and the zip file is risky, because if the zipping fails for an individual item, it results in an infinite loop. For this reason it's preferable to loop as long as the zip file is locked by the shell.
2- I will use early binding with the Shell because late-binding the Shell32.Application seems to have issues on some installations. Add a reference to Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation
Sub compressFolder(folderToCompress As String, targetZip As String)
If Len(Dir(targetZip)) > 0 Then Kill targetZip
' Create a temporary zip file in the temp folder
Dim tempZip As String: tempZip = Environ$("temp") & "\" & "tempzip1234.zip"
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").CreateTextFile(tempZip, True).Write _
Chr$(80) & Chr$(75) & Chr$(5) & Chr$(6) & String(18, 0)
' compress the folder into the temporary zip file
With New Shell ' For late binding: With CreateObject("Shell32.Application")
.Namespace(tempZip).CopyHere .Namespace(folderToCompress).Items
End With
' Move the temp zip to target. Loop until the move succeeds. It won't
' succeed until the zip completes because zip file is locked by the shell
On Error Resume Next
Do Until Len(Dir(targetZip)) > 0
Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Name tempZip As targetZip
Loop
End Sub
Sub someTest()
compressFolder "C:\SO\SOZip", "C:\SO\SOZip\Test.zip"
End Sub
I found zipping via VBA to be hard to control without third party tools, the below may not be a direct answer but may aid as a solution.

I have a directory of files that I want to Loop through and use part of their filename to replace text in a template doc.
For example one filename may be 'NV_AD32_city.dxf'. All files in the directory follow the same filename pattern of XX_XXXX_string.dxf, using two underscores.
I need to capture the string to the right of the first "_" and to the left of the "."so for this example that would be 'AD32_city'
How do I script to use capture that text of the active file to replace text in the template? I guess I need to create an object? But what is the object to use for the current file from a directory?

Well, that’s actually two questions.
To enumerate files in a directory, you can use FileSystemObject, like this (untested)
const strFolderPath = "C:\Temp\Whatever"
set objFSO = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder( strFolderPath )
set colFiles = objFolder.Files
for each objFile in colFiles
' Do whatever you want with objFile
next
Here's the reference of those objects properties/methods.
And to extract portion of file names, you could use a regular expression.
Here’s some guide how to use'em in VBScript.
The following expression should work for you, it will capture the portion of that file names you asked for:
"^[^_]+_(.*)\.dxf$"
If you need to edit the content of the .dxf files, you will need to work within the AutoCAD VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) environment.
If that is the case, you will need to start with something like below:
GetObject("AutoCAD.Application.20")
CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application.20")
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/AutoCAD-ActiveX/files/GUID-0225808C-8C91-407B-990C-15AB966FFFA8-htm.html
