VBScript Help: It runs to quickly before detecting the network and Active Directory.
Hello,
I need a line added in the VBScript that will delay setting environment variables for 10 seconds or so. It appears it doesn't work well when using Wifi. There is sometype of delay. What would be nice is to verify Active Directory is available then run the script. That might be the most helpful. If doing this in Powershell would be better, let me know.
Thanks!

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objUserEnv = objShell.Environment("USER")
Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & objADSysInfo.UserName)
' This will create the variable %mail% for the primary mail address
objUserEnv("MAIL") = objUser.mail
' This will create the variable %FirstName% for First Name of User
objUserEnv("FirstName") = objUser.givenName
' This will create the variable %LastName% for the surname of User
objUserEnv("LastName") = objUser.sn
WScript.Sleep 10000 should add a 10 second delay.

Yea I tried that, but it still didn't work.
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objUserEnv = objShell.Environment("USER")
Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & objADSysInfo.UserName)
WScript.Sleep 10000 'sleep for 10 seconds
Your delay needs to be before you try and connect to AD. My VBScript skills are a little dusty but perhaps something like this:
hostname = "8.8.8.8" 'IP or name of domain controller
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Ping=1
Do Until Ping=0
wscript.echo "sleeping"
Ping = WshShell.Run("ping -n 1 " & hostname, 0, True)
wscript.sleep 1000
Loop
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objUserEnv = objShell.Environment("USER")
Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & objADSysInfo.UserName)
' This will create the variable %mail% for the primary mail address
objUserEnv("MAIL") = objUser.mail
' This will create the variable %FirstName% for First Name of User
objUserEnv("FirstName") = objUser.givenName
' This will create the variable %LastName% for the surname of User
objUserEnv("LastName") = objUser.sn
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objUserEnv = objShell.Environment("USER")
Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & objADSysInfo.UserName)
wscript.sleep 10000
' This will create the variable %mail% for the primary mail address
objUserEnv("MAIL") = objUser.mail
' This will create the variable %FirstName% for First Name of User
objUserEnv("FirstName") = objUser.givenName
' This will create the variable %LastName% for the surname of User
objUserEnv("LastName") = objUser.snASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.

This will wait until the AD user object is actually retrieved, or give up after a timeout:
bConnected = false
iTimeout = 300
iSeconds = 0
iPause = 5
Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
On Error Resume Next
While (Not bConnected) and (iSeconds < iTimeout)
Err.Clear
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & objADSysInfo.UserName)
If Err.Number = 0 Then
bConnected = true
Else
WScript.Echo "Waiting for AD (0x" & Hex(Err.Number) & ")" & Err.Source & Err.Description
WScript.Sleep (iPause * 1000)
iSeconds = iSeconds + iPause
End If
Wend
Err.Clear
On Error Goto 0
If Not bConnected Then
WScript.Echo "Still unable to connect to AD after " & iTimeout & " seconds, giving up."
WScript.Quit 1
End If
WScript.Echo "Connected: " & objUser.givenName & " " & objUser.sn
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objUserEnv = objShell.Environment("USER")
' This will create the variable %mail% for the primary mail address
objUserEnv("MAIL") = objUser.mail
' This will create the variable %FirstName% for First Name of User
objUserEnv("FirstName") = objUser.givenName
' This will create the variable %LastName% for the surname of User
objUserEnv("LastName") = objUser.snASKER
Thanks Guys!
Glad to help. :)
