Question

VBscript: If file exist, run code and output to text file. If file not exist only output to text file

Asked by: Dabosa

Hi

I want to run a VBSCRIPT at login for my users that accomplishes the following.

1 I want to check if a folder exist on a workstation.
2 If folder exists, I want it to output to the "Acrobat9Installed.txt": username and computername
3 If folder exists, I also want it to run the code that modifies the registry.
4 If the folder does not exist, I want it only to output: username and computername to a diffrent txt file "Acrobat9NOTInstalled.txt" and it should NOT make the registry change.

I only want "UN and CompName" which are these two in the file and not all the other obj.

objTextFile.WriteLine objComputer.Name & vbtab & _
objComputer.Username & vbtab & _

Its giving me many errors if i reduce the codes ect. I have snippets that work independently, i just cannot get them to work together for my purpose. The snippets are sectioned below.

Thank you!!!

It might be the ByRef I put in there. Perhaps try it without it.

Const FilePath = "\\servername\folder\"
Const HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = &H80000000
 
Dim objFSO : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim objTextFile, BIOSData, OSData, CSData
 
If objFSO.FolderExists ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader") Then 
  DoUpdate objComputer
Else
  DoMissing objComputer
End If
 
objTextFile.Close
 
Sub  DoUpdate(objComputer)
  Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(FilePath & "Acrobat9Installed.txt",8)
  GetDetails()
  objTextFile.WriteLine objComputer.Name & vbtab & CSData & vbTab & BIOSData & vbTab & OSData
 
  Set objRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:StdRegProv")
  strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe"
  strValueName = ""
  strValue = """C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"""
 
  objRegistry.SetStringValue HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, strKeyPath, strValueName, strValue
End Sub
 
Sub DoMissing(objComputer)
  Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(FilePath & "Acrobat9NOTInstalled.txt",8)
  GetDetails()
  objTextFile.WriteLine objComputer.Name & vbtab & CSData & vbTab & BIOSData & vbTab & OSData
End Sub
 
Sub GetDetails()
  Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
  Set colBIOS = objWMIService.ExecQuery  ("SELECT * FROM Win32_BIOS")
 
  For Each objBIOS in colBIOS
    BIOSData = objBIOS.Manufacturer & vbtab & objBIOS.SerialNumber & vbtab & objBIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVersion 
  Next
 
  Set colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery  ("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem")
  For Each objOperatingSystem in colSettings
    OSData = objOperatingSystem.Name & vbtab & objOperatingSystem.Version & vbtab & objOperatingSystem.ServicePackMajorVersion & vbtab & _
         objOperatingSystem.Manufacturer & vbtab & objOperatingSystem.WindowsDirectory & vbtab & objOperatingSystem.FreePhysicalMemory & vbtab & _
         objOperatingSystem.TotalVirtualMemorySize & vbtab & objOperatingSystem.FreeVirtualMemory

Same Error Kaufmed

by: DabosaPosted on 2009-04-22 at 14:13:29ID: 24209721

Yes sirbounty, that did it!

Its working ive been testing it with many test scenarios.
I would like to have the timeand date also printed in txt file.
I cant seem to find a objcomputer.time&date. How do one actually find these properties or is it methods?
Its difficult to know what to use, is there a list somewhere to check what X is and what it can do for obj.Computer.X?

For Each objComputer in colComputer
strComputer = objComputer.Name
TimeDate = objComputer.Time

Thanks!!
