Posting in here because this is a scripting question, but also posted in the AD forum due to it's relation to AD (dsmove command). Please forgive the double posts

I'm devising some dsquery / dsmove commands , just experimenting around.

I'm experimenting with using for /f command to parse each line of .txt file. The .txt file contains the DN of the objects I want to move.

However, all that happens is the .TXT file opens. It sits there, then I close it, and the command completes, but nothing's been moved in AD

Here's my command

for /f "Tokens=* delims=" %a in ('%userprofile%\desktop\8months.txt') do ('dsmove "%a" -newparent "OU=8months,OU=oldcomp,DC=office,DC=local"') ]]> General Scripting TOMJLAEL http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=63407 logon script to capture my docs http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=63169&goto=newpost Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:42:57 GMT So I guess after all, Google is not my friend :cry:

Here is the current logon script:

net use k: "\\IP ADDRESS HIDDEN\gbh"
K:\bginfo\BgInfo.exe K:\bginfo\Capture.bgi /accepteula /timer
net use K: /delete

So as you see, everytime any user login or logoffs; BgInfo captures the time and date & puts it in an excel spreadsheet.

I'd like to also write an IF statement (or similar) so that when my 20 users log in it will use this same logon.bat file.

I've tried :
robocopy %userprofile%\Documents\ \\fileserver\username$ /E /R:2 /NP /XJ

As you can see i have $ at the end of username to hide documents for all other users. On the backend on the file server, All usernames have been set up using their logon credentials (example: Doe, John would be jdoe@example.com)
We also have an echo turned off but that is pretty simple to implement so I decided to leave it out of this forum.

Hope i haven't confused you. The purpose of this is to save All Users My Documents to the file server for compliance & company data. USERS WILL NOT BE USING THESE FOLDERS so folder redirection is not needed.

Thanks so much in advance. ]]> General Scripting gbhawk http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=63169 Need a script to find the account expire dates for alll users http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=63139&goto=newpost Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:25:46 GMT Hi I would need a script for listing the users with their account expiration dates If possible tell me how to export the results to excel too thanks Sidhin Hi I would need a script for listing the users with their account expiration dates

Can't even find the bloody script I was using that i save to a USB.

Created a BAT file and inserted something like:

Code:

I have tried putting quotes round the whole thing but I am missing something really simple. The Reading Eggs is the shortcut I crearted by draging the URL from the browser to the desktop. I have tried to deploy it using a GPO linked to the Machine and NOT the User. I can't check the User end for a result because the previous tech locked the User Desktop and everything down. Can't remove them as it was on a previous DC and I need to replicate what he did and try and reverse it. Is going to be easier to reimage every machine but I want to see how I have screwed the script.

A simple line and I can't see what I have missed and I have done this successfully on previous ocassions.

Hi Gurus

I am new to this forum, so apologies in advance if I this sounds like a stupid question. I have a requirement which I am trying to solve using.
What I want to do is collect the security logs from all the servers in the domain, that are listed in a file and save the logs, with unique names on to a folder. Can this be achieved by any existing utility or with a script? If you can please get me a script that will be great. I am not very good with vbs and hence is struggling. My environment contains a mixture of 2003/2008 servers and there are approximately 100 servers so I don't particularly fancy going into each server and then saving the log. That will take a long time. I want to save the logs in the .evt and .evtx format. Is it a possibility at all?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance.

My project is to:

1. Find the IP address of the current machine.

2. Make a shortcut of a RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) from that IP + 100 (i.e: If the IP address of my machine is 172.16.9.10, then the IP on the shortcut will be 172.16.9.110. If the IP address of the machine is 172.16.9.200 then the IP on the RDC short cut will be 172.16.10.55 and so on)

3. Adjust the properties of RDC

a. Open RDC to display as Full Screen

I need to add AD user to local admins group on multiple servers.

I found this:

" Needed to add a user to the local administrators on 16 citrix servers, below is the code if you need it.
psexec @servers.txt cmd /c “net localgroup Administrators /add domain\username”
this doesnt work with multiple usernames at one time.
get psexec here: http://www.sysinternals.com
servers.txt is a text file containing a list of servers, i.e:
server1
server2
etc "

But when run it, I get the error (see below).
When run only "net localgroup Administrators /add domaine\hpsim" on the same pc, the command executed successfully. Why it complains about "net" command?

I guess no need to translate the error message from French :)

As soon as you disconnect the RDP session, it only gets to the login screen and then stops.

This is the part that is causing the issue:

;Sign In
WinWaitActive("Dispatch Manager Sign In")
Send($Pwd & "{Enter}")
WinActive("classname=TMessageForm")
;MsgBox(0,"Purge Disabled Records","TMessageForm")
Send("{Enter}")
; ExitDM()

I've been told I should use WinExists and ControlSend, but have no idea how to change this script, as it was done by my predecessor, and I have very little knowledge of scripting. ]]> General Scripting krokkie http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=62678
