Hello all. I am trying to run a very simple vb script to run a vpn client and then start landesk

Set objShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
objshell.Run "ipsecdialer.exe"
WScript.Sleep 15000
objshell.Run "LDISCN32.EXE /NTT=LIMPKIN:5007 /S="LIMPKIN" /I=

HTTP://LIMPKIN/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz

/noui /sync"

I get this error :
Script: script name
Line: 4
Char: 50
Error: Expected end of statement
Code: 800A0401
Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error

This is my very first script attempt. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

And this ?
objshell.Run "LDISCN32.EXE /NTT=LIMPKIN:5007 /S=""LIMPKIN"" /I=

HTTP://LIMPKIN/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz

/noui /sync"

Thanks for answering but i dont understand your response. Are you saying i should add a "?

 

[PHV]

What I said is, replace this:
objshell.Run "LDISCN32.EXE /NTT=LIMPKIN:5007 /S="LIMPKIN" /I=

HTTP://LIMPKIN/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz

/noui /sync"
By this:
objshell.Run "LDISCN32.EXE /NTT=LIMPKIN:5007 /S=""LIMPKIN"" /I=

HTTP://LIMPKIN/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz

/noui /sync"

Sure here it is

Set objShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
objshell.Run "ipsecdialer.exe"
WScript.Sleep 15000
objshell.Run
"LDISCN32.EXE /NTT=LIMPKIN:5007 /S=""LIMPKIN"" /I=

HTTP://LIMPKIN/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz

/noui /sync"

 

[PHV]

Why have you splitted your Run call in two lines ?

[exman2k5]

I thought that was what you had posted for me to do, i'll try it again

 

[exman2k5]

PH thank you very much, it works now. One question though, the script seems to only work if i input the path to the executable in the path statement, it wont work if i type in the path in the script; eg C:\Program Files\Landesk... gives an error file not found. Is this normal? Thanks again for your help

 

[PHV]

objshell.Run """C:\Program Files\Landesk...\LDISCN32.EXE"" /NTT=LIMPKIN:5007 /S=""LIMPKIN"" /I=

HTTP://LIMPKIN/ldlogon/ldappl3.ldz

/noui /sync"
