    WebScrapBook

    Ok I got it. It turns out, for WebScrapBook, under Options some of the most obvious settings default to a setting that most would not want them to be at.

    WebScrapBook

    I just added the extension called WebScrapBook to Firefox and having a hard time getting it to work properly. I'm sure I'm misconfiguring it. Goal is simple. If I have a web page up, I want to save that page, its images, and any images for which there is a link. I don't want to recurse...

    Domain Controller without DNS Server

    We're retiring the domain. Company made the decision to move everything to the cloud. Data is already there. We've already got some of the workstations authenticating through Google with GCPW, they're not even on the domain. This is a step. In the end, DNS and DHCP will be served from the...

    Domain Controller without DNS Server

    I did not. I'll read the article, thanks. I didn't see anything in the firewall GUI config that applies, but I know this firewall sometimes needs CLI setup for advanced features. Hopefully it's able to accommodate. It's a Fortigate 60F.

    Domain Controller without DNS Server

    We had a pair of Domain Controllers that offered AD Authentication, DNS and DHCP. Dynamic DNS actually. A decision has been made to move DHCP and DNS to another device, a firewall. I moved DHCP a while ago, and other than not having Dynamic DNS, it's worked well. However, when I start up DNS...

    Robocopy OK on command line, errors when in batch file

    This robocopy command: robocopy "H:" "T:\My Drive" /E /XD "*$RECYCLE.BIN*" /XF "*thumbs.db*" /V /LOG:"H:\robocopy.txt" Works fine from a DOS command line, but in a batch file that's run from the command line, produces this: Source - I:\IT Files\Projects\My Drive\┬áH:\MX┬áT:\My Drive Dest -...

    Properly closing Outlook

    Odd thing. I was running the script all afternoon, for other development nothing to do with the Outlook bit, and it just started working. Inexplicable and annoyingly inconsistent. I would still be interested to know if the method I am using is correct.

    Properly closing Outlook

    Had a similar issue a while back with Excel and solved it, in similar fashion to the below, but it doesn't appear to be working with Outlook. My vbscript opens Outlook to parse some things out of an email body. When it comes time to quit the script, I close Outlook like this...

    MS Word Save As PDF / scheduled task

    I wanted to post back ... the solution was, the install of Office on the PC in question was very much behind in MS patches. Not sure why WSUS wasn't patching it up (like other PCs here) but after we manually patched Office up fully on that machine, by going out to MS directly ... this started...

    Issues quitting Excel

    Well, that's an improvement. I modified the closing to un-set WkSheet and ExcelFile. That seems to work fine. ExcelFile.Close FALSE Set WkSheet = Nothing Set ExcelFile = Nothing objExcel.Application.Quit Set objExcel = Nothing

    How can I combine multiple .vbs script of the same function into one .vbs?

    I think you should have a look at this: object.Run(strCommand, [intWindowStyle], [bWaitOnReturn]) For example: shell_obj.run(RUNCMD,0,TRUE) The 0 runs the CMD in an invisible window. TRUE forces your script to wait until CMD has finished. You can also test the success of the run: status...

    Issues quitting Excel

    In a vbscript, I open an Excel file to read a few items from it, then close it. I make no changes. However, even though I quit Excel, the process stays in Task Manager, until my script exits. Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") objExcel.Application.Visible = False Set ExcelFile...

    Get HTML Email body into IE document object

    Equally frustrated. For what it's worth here's a code snippet that I found online that actually produces some results without errors. Still feels a long way from where I need to be. Set document = CreateObject("htmlfile") document.write "<html><head><title>test</title></head><body><div...

    Get HTML Email body into IE document object

    I'm afraid someone will have to hit me over the head with an example; I'm struggling with usage and I'm still getting errors like 'object required' and 'object doesn't support this property or method'. <table> <tr> <td class='text' style='margin-left:10px; margin-top:5px...

    Get HTML Email body into IE document object

    No worries. In the meantime I stumbled upon these two things which both work although I can't say I understand why. One of them matches yours: Set document = CreateObject("htmlfile") document.write objEmail.htmlBody Set oHTMLDoc = CreateObject("htmlfile") oHTMLDoc.open oHTMLDoc.close...
