    Can't switch default scripting host to cscript

    I followed your instructions and I think I see what is wrong. It appears that when "wscript //H:cscript" is run the default action for .VBS is set to "open" (i.e. wscript). When I run "wscript //H:wscript" the default action changes to "open with command prompt" (i.e. cscript). I tried...

    Can't switch default scripting host to cscript

    Okay, I see now. Here is what I get when I running each of the following commands: > c:\>wscript //h:cscript The default script host is set to cscript. > c:\>wscript xyz.vbs still hosted by wscript WScript.Echo outputs text in a graphical pop up (as expected). > c:\>cscript xyz.vbs still...

    Can't switch default scripting host to cscript

    Hi Tsuji, I don't think I understand you. The situation is that the default script host is set to cscript. However when I run a script from the command-line as is (i.e. not being prefaced with "cscript" or the like) all text passed to the WScript Echo method is being displayed in graphical pop...

    Can't switch default scripting host to cscript

    Okay, I think that this is a very confusing situation. So I was slightly mistaken--I was poking around (more specifically, I used the script given at this link...

    Can't switch default scripting host to cscript

    Thank you for your reply. Okay, so what should I do next then? I already mentioned that changing the default script host via "wscript //h:cscript" doesn't seem to be working. Of course, when I run a script directly using the cscript host (e.g. "cscript myscript.vbs") the script host used is...

    Can't switch default scripting host to cscript

    Hi all, I need help with a problem that doesn't make any sense. I can't seem to switch the default scripting host to cscript. The way this is normally done is via the following command: wscript //H:cscript When I run this command I see something similar to "the default script host was set to...

    Cannot install Microsoft Network File and Print Sharing

    It turns out that the problem was related to group policy. Specifically, Administrators had been accidentally removed from the device driver load/unload security setting. Once Administrators was added back the policy, I was able to reinstall file/print sharing. Also, as it turned out, once I...

    Cannot install Microsoft Network File and Print Sharing

    > Any settings coming in to play from "Network Connections" > in Group Policy? Okay, at your suggestion I decided to investigate Group Policy a bit more. I found something a bit suspicious with the device driver load/unload local policy security setting. I can't do anything to change it right...

    Cannot install Microsoft Network File and Print Sharing

    Thank you for your reply. For the time being I've given up on writing a script to automatically install file/print sharing (wasn't really necessary anyways). I just want to install file/print sharing on my local computer again! Programatically, manually, any way is okay with me. So clearly...

    Cannot install Microsoft Network File and Print Sharing

    Hi there, I'm trying to write a script that automatically installs/enables Microsoft Network File and Print Sharing using snetcfg. I was able to get the uninstall component to work (i.e. snetcfg.exe -v -u MS_Server). NOTE: in order to able to enable File/Print Sharing apparently you first...

    Turn off DNS root queries Server 2003

    In my case, there are two reasons we are using forwarders: 1) fewer holes to open up in the firewall, 2) we have a support contract with a vendor that includes support for DNS, so the vendor will be respsonsible for troubleshooting any DNS related problems that crop up.

    Turn off DNS root queries Server 2003

    technome, it sounds like you're doing something similar to what we're trying to do with our firewall/forwarders. I still don't understand why our DNS servers are trying to hit the root hint servers (our DNS servers actually forward external DNS requests to a DNS server on the firewall, which...

    Turn off DNS root queries Server 2003

    Roadkill, I'm still not 100% sure where the source of the problem is, but as you say, the fact that the local DNS servers are trying to hit root host servers is evidence enough that something is wonky. Thanks for your help.

    Turn off DNS root queries Server 2003

    Greetings! I have a silly question. Right now the local firewall is set only allow DNS queries from the internal network to the ISP's DNS servers (external DNS queries are being forwarded only, no DNS zone information is being sent as there is no need). I'm seeing dropped packets (UDP port 53)...

    All Partitions Lost on Samba File Server

    That's a good question. The answer is that I also use the server as a test (or 'play') environment for new software. For example, I found this new Japanese groupware software package the other day (Aipo4) and I wanted to give it a whirl. So I set up a new virtual machine and installed it. As it...

    All Partitions Lost on Samba File Server

    Hi there! I don't really have a problem to "solve" per se, I just want to understand what exactly happened here and prevent the same from happening in the future... Here's what I did. I have a home server running VMware Server on top of Linux. I have a virtual machine that I set up as a Samba...

    Trying to fix NTFS corruption in external disk (no OS)

    Restorer 2000 (NTFS version) was able to identify *all* the files/directories on the external drive in 1/4 the time required by PC Inspector (PC Inspector was unable to identify the files of certain directories and sometimes had trouble identifying the correct names of files). It was also able...
