VBScript to delete ODBC data source on multiple servers

Hi,
I have 2 scripts that i have found somewhere on the internet. One that creates an ODBC data source across multiple servers and one that deletes a data source on a specified machine. What i need to do is essentially put the two together so that i can delete across multiple servers easily. Any help would be much appreciated as i know little VB

Delete
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002

strComputer = "."
 
Set objReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _ 
    strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
 
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\XXX"
objReg.DeleteKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath

strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources"
strValueName = "XXX"
objReg.DeleteValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName

Const HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT       = &H80000000

Hi Rob,

Thanks a lot for this, it will save me a hell of a lot of time.

In the DeleteRegStrValue Function, I changed sValueName = "XXX" to sValueName = datasourcename and it works perfectly

Thanks again
Neil
Ah yes, sorry about that....that line doesn't actually need to be there, because sValueName is passed to the function anyway.
Thanks for the grade.
Regards,
Rob.
