Using Windows Media Service SDK

ccherchi · Oct 14, 2002

Hi,

I have to make a VBS script that will run once a day for maintenance needs on a Windows Media Server.

This script must create an Instance of the Station Control Object before sending command to it.

However, the SDK reference guide say that this instance have to be created within <object></object> contener, so this must be made in a HTML document.

This is a working example :

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="init()">
<object id=NSstationMgr classid=CLSID:B00464B3-67D4-11D0-A464-00C04FC29CFB></object>
<script language="VBScript">
NSstationMgr localhost
</script>
</body>
</html>

The problem is that i cannot use html for my script because it will be executed as a Windows scheduled task. How can i create this instance within a .VBS document ?

Thanks a lot.

Ced.

Hmm...

That doesn't seem quite right but I have no experience with managing Windows Media Server. I can't imagine why you'd need to host the control in HTML, or why a WSH script couldn't use CreateObject() on it either.

But you might try making a .WSF WSH script instead of a simple .VBS because it supports an <object> element that can be used to define objects by GUID.

Look at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/wseleobject.asp

and also read up on the structure of a .WSF file. These can also use a <reference> element, that is useful because it makes constants compiled into objects available too, avoiding using a lot of "magic numbers" or typing in those long lists of constants.
