Vbs script that check all machines in a file if a patch is installed. I get a lot of machines with permission error.

Hi,

Vbs script that check all machines in a file if a patch is installed. I get a lot of machines with permission error.
But other scripts work fine in the same conditions. If the machine is Off need to get the results as Switched off.
can anyone help with checking what the issue is.
The script breaks some times on some specific machines. I dont know why. I get an error. Can an condition be added as to skip any kind of error and record all errors.

Regards
Sharath

try running as a GPO startup script.
it then runs with as System user, which may have more permissions. Certainly on XP, not quite so on Vista i'm finding out.
