thanks for that i have the volume license key that they need for the upgrade. and yes i totally agree with you, if it was up to me i would fresh install

hi all, iv never had to do this before so im just checking with one of you guys who may have done this. but is it as simple as inserting the xp pro disc and running setup from the gui? and are there any risks or things to watch out for when doing this? thank you

iv done this and have a mirror setup. its fine and i wouuld recommend it to anyone

ok that clarifys it, thanks yzowl

hey all, just comparing yzowls newest version of this and forgive me i may have overlooked it, but i cant find what was changed, also the <TR> were not in the original so im confused

ner is right, it does display only the code in a window but on on windows 2000. when i get back to work im going to try running it from a win 2k3 server on a win 2k server and see if it works that way. that services script is neat! wouldnt really need it in the .hta tho unless it was an optional thing, maybe part of the drop down that could be enabled? or in the hta output like the defrag button

thats a nice idea indeed, but im not aware that it is possible. whats the reason for this? just turning of hard disks that are not in use?

i didnt know you wrote javascript too! whats the advantage of that over vbs? the process are all listed in real time and i think that is incredible thanks

ok sounds good, il speak to you later take care

download filezilla www.filezilla.com this will let you upload your files to where you are going to host them when you bought your package you should get a username, password and ip you can connect to to do this. specify these within filezilla, also choose port 21 as this is the port for ftp hope this helps you thanks

the way Yzöwl displayed it was easier to read for me, but i can manage reading the old one, we need to add to this script the ability to scan a range of IP address's as at the minute you have to scan each one individually, can we take this from the original script i posted in the first post? if no one has had a look by the time i return from work ill take a look at doing this thanks

ok the computer that wont let you remote desktop to it, open the software firewall (if it has one) and allow port 3389 now go start->run->ipconfig and find your default gateway type that ip in your browser now you will be managing your router, find a section that deals with port forwading (maybe NAT depending on what router you have) now add a rule that tells the router that any traffic (TCP) that comes in destined for port 3389 must be forwarded to the ip address of that computer (check back in that ipconfig you did) that should do it

wow! that in itself is a cool little app i think if you was thinking of that kind of control (e.g stopping process's remotely) it should be a sepertate file because it might screw it up when you save the .hta and reopen it and try to end a task thats not there. as far as what else the script needs: the total ram - from win32_logicalmemoryconfiguration make model + serial number from win32_computersystemproduct pagefile location/s?? from win32_pagefile <- would this be useful? scsi controller make + model from win32_scsicontroller tapedrive make + model from win32_tapedrive that would be it, i would like to see how many memory banks a pc has and which ones are empty but i cant find a WMI class that lists this information, i'l google it and post back but i have looked before without much luck thank you set oSvc = GetObject("winmgmts:\root\cimv2") set oArrays = oSvc.ExecQuery("select * from Win32_PhysicalMemoryArray") for each slots in oArrays wscript.echo slots.Tag & " has " & slots.MemoryDevices & "slots/sockets." next this gives you the number of memory slots but unfortunatly doesnt tell you what memory is in what slot, ill look into this further... EDIT: here is a script that tells you what memory bank has memory in it and how much strComputer = inputbox("Enter Computer Name") 'Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") sData = "[Physical Memory]" & vbCrLf sData = sData & "Bank Label, Capacity, Description," _ & "DeviceLocator, DataWidth, FormFactor" & vbCrLf for each memory in oWMI.InstancesOf("Win32_PhysicalMemory") counter = counter + 1 sData = sData & memory.BankLabel & "," & CStr(memory.capacity) _ & "," & memory.Description & "," & memory.DeviceLocator _ & "," & memory.DataWidth & "," & memory.FormFactor & vbCrLf next wscript.echo counter wscript.echo sData maybe you can do something with these two scripts Gunsmlokingman?

open up a window such as my computer and go to tools, then folder options and file types tab. all file associations are listed in there

not sure what i could use that for, but the way i see it the more information it gathers the better, you can always disregard it if you dont want it but its totally upto you. is there anything network based i can test for you? im sat at work and its real slow today lol.

iv installed that vbsedit and its really good, gives you all the objects and WMI's which is useful, i didnt think there would be any benefit of using it over notepad, but i was clearly wrong. thanks for mentioning it Gsm and the percentage thing on the hard disks is really good i like it

the only plus point for this is that server 2003 can have dynamic drives that support RAID 1 and 5. Xp with dynamic drives only supports RAID 0

i like the printers idea, that is always useful to know and the gui looks better with every update lol

once i finish my 70-290 im learning wsh and vb and then ill start to help ppl out, but we all gotta start somewhere

where is the script repository? id love to have a look through, it would certainly help me learn more

OMFG! ladies and gentlemen just when you thought it couldnt get any better..... Gunsmokingman you have really outdone yourself this time! that is amazing i love the fact it tells you what WMI its interrogating, absolutely amazing and even the input box looks nice now too great stuff Gsm thanks sooo much so whats next? anything else i should find out or think about? or is it almost done?

Hi Gsm, i think if they are exported to the systemdrive its neater thanks

ok Gsm it works now iv ran it on the client from the server no problems. i found it needs the following ports and protocols on the client to be in the firewall exceptions: tcp 135 udp 135 tcp 1036 one thing, can you make it so the file created is named the same as the hostname of the pc it scanned? thank you

try right clicking on your desktop and going to properties and then select settings and then advanced, in there somewhere there is usually the option to do this unless your video card doesnt support it

hi, use this XCOPY "c:\music" "d:\Musicbackup" /E /S /H /I /Y /EXCLUDE:c:\musicbackup.txt inside musicbackup.txt simply type the word .mp3 this will copy everything over including hidden files but it will skip the mp3's is this what you wanted?
