simple vb query

[baggies1]

when running a "sc sdshow spooler" from the command line i get SDDL for spooler service.

so why doesnt below work?

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "%comspec% /c sc sdshow spooler",0,true

also when i try

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
result = WshShell.Run ("%comspec% /c" & "sc sdshow spooler",0,true)
wscript.echo result

i get result returned '0'.

does anyone have any ideas?

thsanks.

i notice that if i dont set the variables for wshshell run (ie 0,true) it outputs to another command window.

in this window i can see the correct result.

but when i set to 0,true is does not display in this main window.

bWaitOnReturn defaults to False, not True.

In any case this is script, not VB. You want forum329 instead.
