The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Disable Wireless using a process triggered by an event. (VBScript / WMI)

Asked by tonysummers in Wireless Technologies, VB Script, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters

Tags: wireless, vbscript, disable, wmi

I am trying to develope a script that will run as a service and be triggered by an event. I have a VBScripts called - NetworkConnectionEvent

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\wmi")
Set colMonitoredEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery("Select * from MSNdis_StatusMediaConnect")
Do While True
    Set strLatestEvent = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent
    'msgbox "New Connection Found"
    CheckNetworkStatus()
Loop
Function CheckNetworkStatus()
  blnOnTreasuryNetwork = False
  Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
  Set colConfig = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration Where DNSDomain = 'olympus.treasury.gov'",,48)
  For Each objItem in colConfig
    blnOnTreasuryNetwork = True         
    Exit For
  Next
  Set colAdapters = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter where ProductName like '%Wireless%'",,48)
  For Each objAdapter in colAdapters
    If blnOnTreasuryNetwork Then
      'Disable Wireless            
      objAdapter.disable
    Else
      'Enable Wireless
      Call objAdapter.Enable()
    End if
  Next
End Function

The problem I am getting is the I get an error referring to this line 'objAdapter.disable'. I know it is an object I can use, and I have double-checked the syntax.

Alternatively - If you can think of a better, neater way to capture and event triggered by a wireless card being plugged in/turned on, then I'm happy to hear it. Basically I need to be able to disable the wireless service, regardless of make/model/type whenever the physical NIC gets a DNSDomain name that meets my criteria. unfortunately the only way I can think of doing this is to have something monitoring this, otherwise there would be times/occurrences where wireless and nic connectivity could run together.
