Thanks, I will perform some testing detecting the locale (getlocale) and getting the day month year while using the locale is at the system default, and then convert that to the locale formatting of my liking.

we have a global network so servers around the globe have different configurations. one of the most annoying issues when scripting for all of those servers is the datetime formatting. some servers show 12/8/2010 1:30:00 PM others 8/12/2010 13:30 Or 2010-12-08 13:30 what is the best solution...

we have a global image (OS only) and we use sysprep.inf for a fully automated install. in the windows PE bootdisc that we use we have an HTA form where we can provide the PC name, timezone, region and keyboard, and those values are inserted into the systprep.inf on the local HDD, so when it...

USMT will do the job that is not the point, what I am trying to find out is if there is an option to do it live from one machine to the other, without having an intermediate store as this store doubles the migration time... this is intended for usage by all site support persons for our company...

the only product we have right now is USMT.

I am trying to sort out a migration strategy. one of them is when a customer gets a new PC (side by side migration): in this scenario doing a full migration as in a wipe and load takes twice the time. (first an hour or so to backup the "old PC" and then another hour or so to restore it to the...

Troubleshooting frequent lockout's for a customer. I did download ALTools.exe from microsoft and the LockoutStatus.exe utility displays the bad password count on all our DC's (search microsoft technet for more info on the tools) there is one DC that is showing that my bad password count is 1...

Thanks a lot. just tried that, and that works. the complete working code is : Set objXMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") XMLString= USDWebService.doSelect(iSID, sObjectType, "last_name LIKE '%dt_nl_vels%'", 10, arrChangeRequestAttr) objXMLDoc.async = False...

I am having a problem processing XML reply string from a web services query <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <UDSObjectList> <UDSObject> <Handle>cnt:CCA48</Handle> <Attributes> <Attribute DataType="2009"> <AttrName>id</AttrName> <AttrValue>CCA48E467FCD5946B3F944778F885C28</AttrValue>...

Sorry, guys, intended to respond last night and show the code, but never touched the PC... I have resolved it indeed via the dumb method - that is exactly what I do now, but I figured there must be a smarter method.... set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set logfilefs =...

SO my ultimate question would still be HOW ??? let me explain in more detail : if I save to a a file c:\test it becomes in UTF HEX : FF FE 43 00 3A 00 5C 00 74 00 etc the way I saved it, FF FE was at the beginning of the file. so could someone show me the code to write c:\temp in the...

I want to create a unicode file - and it works OK, EXCEPT it saves 2 codes at the start of the file : FF FE (only see them if you open with a HEX editor... I saw in thread222-927492 (the only thread that was found when doing a search for "file FF FE" ) a remark that a Unicode file always...

while I was answering your question, I looked at it again and refrased my search and that solved it. it's very simple : Set objLocalGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Backup operators,group") objLocalGroup.add("WINNT://NT-AUTHORITY/SYSTEM") that's all... (off course you get an...

I have a list of servers where I have to add the SYSTEM to a security group Set objLocalSystem = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/SYSTEM,group") Set objLocalGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Backup operators,group") objLocalGroup.add(objLocalSystem) however I cannot select...

Hey AlexCuse thanks a lot ! (and the rest too for the quick responses) I did not know you could define a select as a "kind of" temp table called b as you did I was already looking at creating and dropping a table but this is much easier thanks all, this solved my issues ! an idiot can ask...
