Thanks! This points me in the right direction.

I have a script to launch a remote process and it seems to work for notepad.exe but when run it with ccmclean.exe I receive error 2. Does anyone know a way around this error or what it means? I have pasted the script in case this helps. Script...

Greetings all, I am running SMS 2003 no service pack and I am experiencing error 5436 on my MP once every hour. I have tried all of the suggested solutions and the error continues to return. I also have made IWAM_COMPUTERNAME a member of the local admin and nothing has worked. I was hoping this...

Thank you tbrennans, but this raises another question that I have. I extended the AD Schema when I upgraded from 2.0 to 2003, or so I thought I did. I am not 100% sure if the AD Schema exention was successfull. Is there a way for me to verify if my Schema is exented or not? I have a feeling...

Is there a command I can run from a client to update the management point? In the Systems Management Properties box there is no manangement point listed. I would like to force it to update. thx

Thank You tsuji!! This works for both C:\Windows and C:\WINNT. This is exaclty what I needed. B-) THX again

Thanks but I saw this in the MSDN library and I am still at a loss as to how to make it work with what I am trying to do. I am a bit of a newbie in the scripting world but I just assumed that this was something that would have been attempted before. Would it be possible to post an example of a...

I am trying to copy a file from \\servername\folder\myfile.txt to c:\windows in some cases and c:\winnt in other cases. Is there a way to make this work using %systemroot% in a vbs script instead of C:\Windows\? What I have so far is: Const OverwriteExisting = TRUE Set objFSO =...

From what I can see SMS does not collect DNS information from clients by default. Does anyone know of a MOF edit or any way to gather this information?? I am trying to figure out which client are using a static mapping for DNS. Thx

I am having user account problems and drive mapping issues on my site server and one of the sys admins suggested I disjoin and rejoin the domain. I think this may solve the issue I am having with the O/S but I am afraid it will break SMS. does anyone know of a safe way to go about this? I was...

I am Running SMS 2003 and I have mostly legacy clients but I have about 20% advanced clients. The advanced client seems to be working fine on the workstations but on my servers they are not reporting inventory. Remote tools and software distribution do work however. Has anyone seen this?? Is...

mrmovie, can you be a liitle more specific. I am not sure what exactly to change from your first reply. Are you suggesting that I just add , 1, True to the end of what I already have? like this: Set Wshshell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.run...

I am still a newbie a VBScripting but I am trying to build a script that will install Office XP Sp3 and the 4 post SP3 patches. The script seems to work except it does not wait for the 1st command to complete before moving on to the next and so on thus making it fail. Is their a something i can...

tbrennans, thanks for your response but that seems to be a very useful tool but I can't find it anywhere. I do not have access to the old MS backoffice 4.5 resource kit. I tried to locate the resource kit when we were using SMS 2.0 and came up empty. I was hoping with 2003 there would be another...

I am running SMS 2003 and I am looking for an easy way to create a collection from a list of IP addresses that I have. Does anyone know of such a way? Thanks
