MSNwar, Thank for taking the time and pointing me to some reference. I will give this a try.... BTW the script is to be use on Windows 2000 Domains and stand alone servers... Just incase you come across to any scripts that match my search... Peace! \\// | | --- Dtek

Hi... I am new to vbs scripting.. . But I am working on learning... I need a script to re-set a user's password from a flat file. I would like to know if it is posible, that some could give a hand with this or to give some idea on how to get the script to read the file. My Project: I need change a password for a user that I have setup on all my clients (Domain). The user is name as follow (user+ID) ID is the id for the client. For example RemoteUser102. 1) ClientsEnv.txt (flat file) User Name PWS ------------------ ------------ RemoteUser100 Password RemoteUser101 Password 2)ResetPws.vbs <script code> Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Dtek

What OS are you running? If you are running XP. You could just create an dummy account or log in as the Administrator. Install PS 8. These settings will only apply to users that have not log in to the PC in the past. Meaning that the user does not have a profile on the PC. 1) Login as Administrator or Dummy accont. 2) Install PS 8. (Reboot if requier) 3) Login as the Administrator, if you used Dummy account (viseversa) 4) Right-click on my Computer, select Properties. 5) Select the Advanced Tab. 6) Look for the section Users Profiles and click on the Settings Button. 7) At the next screen, select the user you use to install the application. 8) Click the Copy button. 9) At the next screen in the section labled Copy Profile: type C:\Documents and Settings\Default User or the profile you want to copy this settings. 10) In the Permited to Use Click the Change Button. at the next screen Type Everyone Click Check Names button. 11) Click OK. 12) Click OK and Yes at the next prompt. Now, if the user already has a profile, this will not apply to them it will only apply to users that have not log in to the PC. 1) Login as Administrator or Dummy accont. 2) Install PS 8. (Reboot if requier) 3) Login as the Administrator, if you used Dummy account (viseversa) 4) Right-click on my Computer, select Properties. 5) Select the Advanced Tab. 6) Look for the section Users Profiles and click on the Settings Button. 7) At the next screen, select the user you use to install the application. 8) Click the Copy button. 9) At the next screen in the section labled Copy Profile: type C:\Documents and Settings\ User Profile (example C:\Documents and Settings\ User1) 10) In the Permited to Use Click the Change Button. at the next screen Type Everyone Click Check Names button. 11) Click OK. 12) Click OK and Yes at the next prompt. 13) Log off and have the user log in. Also you may need to make the user a power user or give the user permission on the registry key for PS. NOTE: Be very careful when you edit the Registry. Click on Start\Run Type Regedit Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Name of the software Right click and select Permission. in the permissions add the Users Group and give this group Full Control or Click on Advanced and give this group all rights execpt the Delete. Hope this help...

Thank you, both for your sugestions. 1) I ran the setup again with out the updates..it seems to work fine. 2) Now I am going to fixed my Hotfixes.cmd file and add the correct updates as suggested by AaronXP... Will get back to you with final results.... Thanks
