    Invalid Method while setting DNS Suffixes???

    Popup method question

    Been looking around, can't quite find an answer to my questions. Using the popup method, is there a way to control its placement? Also, is there a way of making it to be a background window when it comes up, and NOT the active window?

    Not crafting search phrase right

    I am sure this question has been asked before. I have a script, that reads a list of IPs from a text file and performs an action with each IP. Eventually, the script finishes. I would like to make it a little more inclusive. Read a list of text files, then read the IPs from the first text...

    formatdatetime

    Starting to play with them now, but should I be able to format the objItem.LastBootUpTime? Or is it a value that just can't be altered because the way it is returned?

    internet epxplorer homepage reset every time.

    What I have started to see lately is spyware is being launched as a service. I can delete a registry key to remove whatever piece of crap from launching at startup, hit refresh and it is back immediately. Start scrolling through the services and see whatyou can find.

    Executing batch files remotely

    For my own edification, could you explain the line iret=oproc.create("c:\updates\patch.bat") 1. What causes iret to fire? 2. Is it's reference to c: defined by the getObject line? I mean, how does it know you mean the remote computer vs the local computer? Everytime I pick up something in...

    script to add/remove user to group

    Not sure whether to start a new post or not, but it seems in the right thread. We are still slowly cleaning, condensing, straightening up years of doing things not as well as we could have. Nearly every user is an administrator. Currently, I am going through with Dameware and manually moving...
