That's very interesting. I'm taking the test tomorrow. I hope I get the easy batch of questions. Seems unfair but that's life.

I'm hoping someone here has experience with using these packages... I have Unicenter Asset Management version 4.0.662.181 and Unicenter ServicePlus Service Desk version 6.0. Is there a way to link the asset data collected by AMO into Service Desk? I don't want to have to manually add in all our...

There is a user who is an admin assistant. She has been given various permissions, from READ to OWNER, on other peoples' calendars and email. We are running Exchange 5.5 with the latest service pack. I have been tasked to list all her rights, including those that exist on mailboxes other than...

I've been trying out "PrimalScript" for writing my VBS and ASP code. I love it, though it may be too high-priced for me ($150). Very helpful in debugging.

In the copy in your post, you are missing the open paranthesis around ("Scripting.FileSystemObject"), but that is probably just a typo. I agree that it is probably a path issue. This worked for me: 'Use FSO to get file Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")...

The format of the HTML email for event notification is very bulky. I need information... but not quite that much. For instance, for Disk Threshold notifications, I have to go deep into the email before I find out the disk is 87% full. Is there a way to move the important data to the top of the...

This may be a dumb question -- Would someone explain why in some cases a script uses DIM to set up variables, and in other cases a script will not have any DIM statements, but will use SET instead. Are these interchangeable? Is one preferred? Thanks!

Various problem which I think are all related to the installation of SP3: Cannot "Search" files or folders. Cannot do a "Find". No error message -- just no function. Click and nothing happens. (Application does not launch.) Windows Update will not launch. Trouble-shooting...

I have a script that is mostly working to enumerate and list (in a text file) all the subfolders on a drive. PROBLEM -- it halts when it gets to the "System Volume Information" folder. "Permission Denied" is the error. I've tried to write the script so that it will skip this...

Client is an NT Server. I'm having trouble accessing its information. I tried to run some updates from the CIM console (on the Software Repository server) and got this error "Agent Trust Error. HTTP Status 403: Establish a trust relationship with the client" Any ideas?

You can definitely automate many administrative tasks with VBscript. I don't have one handy that does what you are requesting, but here are two very good resources: "Windows Admin Scripting: Little Black Book" by Jesse M. Torres. Published by Coriolis. and "Windows...

OK, answering my own question here: By using the Net User command at a command prompt and piping it out to a text file, you can see the hidden properties such as Account Expiration date. Still, would be good to have a GUI interface that included those properties....

Our developers use code to create local users on a particular server. I need to view the Account Expiration date that is created by code. That field is not shown in the properties of local user accounts in Computer Management. The account expiration field does show up in Active Directory tools...

Oh wise VB Gurus... How can I modify this script, which creates a user in a Windows 2000 Active Directory, to accept data input from a text or HTML file? That is, for the user name, given name, etc., it would look at fields in the file and fill it in from there. This is the code: '*Script to...

Hi Ice, I was working as a writer/editor for 10 years before I moved into the IT field. When I moved from Indiana to Texas, I found that writing jobs were scarce but IT jobs were plentiful. I had always been "good with computers" and had a few programming courses under my belt...
