Hi I have some VBA code code in a workbook for summarising a CSV file report. Let's call this workbook "Reporter" One of the first things it does is create a new workbook in to which all the data is imported, filtered, tidied/formatted and so on. All works well but even with...

Hello Tek-Tippers! LTNS! My golf club (like most, if not all, other golf clubs) runs monthly competitions called 'Monthly Medals'. This competition is open for entry over three days, usually the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the second full weekend of the month (so 7th-9th at the earliest...

As you start reading this you might think "This is an AD issue! Why is he posting this here?!" Well, you might well be right, but this issue ONLY occurs with Windows 10 clients, though I grant you only then when the script is called from GPO. Anyhoo, please, read on. We have a logon script...

Hello, Tek-Tips Chums LTNS I need to script the ADDITION of permissions to a folder, for a new hire's home drive. Not too difficult, I thought, and yes I suppose I COULD use iCacls, and I COULD import a module to do this, but I want to stick with built-in cmdlets. I've gleaned this script...

I'm trying to use icacls to apply modify permissions to a folder, like this: icacls "\\Server\Share\Notes\folder" /grant domain\TargetUser:M But it's not behaving as I'd expect. It's granting 'Special permissions': This is true on Windows 7, and on Server 2008. Am I doing something wrong...

Hi I'm trying to extract multiple instances of part of a URL from the source code of a web page. All these parts start with the same text but then end with a numeric string (representing the ID number for a round of golf). Ultimately I'm after just a list of the ID numbers but for now the...

I have 113 pages I want to import in to Excel (2010). To be more precise, they're two tables in 113 pages (they're golf scores hosted on a website that's closing down). I know I can copy and paste then choose 'Refreshable Web Query' and run through the wizard but that's going to get boring very...

Thanks to various sources I have a script which pops up a dialogue reminding the user they need to change their password (because the Windows 7 pop-up reminder is inadequate). The idea is that it gets the next password reset date, then starts to prompt the user when there are five days to go...

Peer review time! Exchange 2007: Our Active node (PROD010) ran out of disk space (for the transaction logs) and as an emergency measure was powered off to allow the passive node (DR01) to take over. This was done WITHOUT issuing a failover command first (so, when it powered down it did so still...

Hi I have a script we run twice a day which (amongst many other things) checks the status of a Windows Service on various hosts. In short with "Set colRunningServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Service Where Name = '" & strServiceName & "'")" and "strServiceStatus =...

We've had a namespace in place for over a year and it's worked fine. Until last Thursday when a couple of client PCs could still see the namespace but with almost NO contents. Looking at the local paths on the member servers shows them to be full of the data we'd expect to see...but you can't...

Hi This seems to be a VERY quiet forum, but let's see if this query gets any bites anyway. Some background first: There's a feature of DFS which prevent replication of files that have the temporary attribute set. That's fine, but some of our files which aren't actually temp files have got...

I'm cool with the fact that DFS doesn't replicate temporary files, what I'd like to know is WHY some files get marked as temporary in the first place. .TMP files I can understand, but not .DOC, .PDF, .XLS files. Also, how to prevent this from happening in the first place, otherwise DFS is...

I'm creating a domain default user profile, this time, by following the Microsoft (PITA) method. As part of that profile I want a set of Favourites which also appear on the Favourites bar. Specifically: BBC Homepage Bloomberg.com Reuters.com our intranet The first three are easy, and both...

Hi Is there a way to search users' rules from the Exchange server? Old cynic that I am I suspect some of our users have rules set up to auto-delete (or file to a sub-folder) anything from IT Support...pesky lot - whether I'm right or not! JJ Variables won't. Constants aren't There is no...

I'm trying to use a WMI Filter to apply a GPO to servers with any version of 'Windows Server 2003' only (i.e. not Windows 2008). i.e. the GPO using the WMI filter will be linked to the OU containing ALL of our servers but should only then be applied if the server is 2003. I'm creating the...

Hi I'm trying to get a GPO to only apply to users in a group. Usually, such tasks are almost trivial in nature (I've done it before) but what seems to be happening is that a user's groups memberships are not being picked up correctly by Group Policies. Sam Vimes is our test user. AD shows he...
