How To Use WScript.Shell Properly From An ASP Page?
I have a process that creates a whole bunch of files in a specified directory. The names of the files are the employee IDs with an .txt extension, so they are like
EMP001.txt
EMP002.txt
EMP003.txt
The background is a bit more complicated so I won't bore you with it, but I hope that I can add a button on the asp page that would
1) go to that specified directory, which is database-driven by the department id, such as
D:DepartmentDEPT001
and I'll be able to figure the directory path from the existing code
2) then loop through each employee id and append the employee name, so the above will become
EMP001JohnDoe.txt
EMP002MaryJane.txt
EMP003PeterKay.txt
The employee names are also database driven and my asp page will be able to provide the information.
What I would like is to have a button that would open the cmd.exe and make the appropriate changes, and then do the rename, and then close the cmd window.
I know that you can have something like: Code:

Currently, I move a application from win 2000 server to 2003 server, I use some vbs file in this application, however, it seems that those vbs file can not be run from 2003 server. Below is my code, can some one point out what did I do wrong here?
DIm objShell
Set objShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

I am currently in the process of converting a website from an existing
web host to our servers. This website used the WScript.Shell command
to execute a series of Java commands that would send an encrypted
email.
I ran these commands directly on the server and they execute properly,
but when I try to run them from within the WScript.Shell command then
I get a return code of 1, and the actions that should be completed are
not.
The shell is executing a .bat file which is in the same directory the
text files it needs to run the following sample command(s): Code:

For win2k adv server/iis5.0 trying to run an external program from my asp routine that has multiple
parameters, see following.
set shell = server.createobject("wscript.shell")
shell.Run """f:phsDatahtmldochtmldoc.exe"" --webpage -f phsnew.pdf
phsnew.htm"
program either doesn't get invoked, or has an error, but since it has no error log i can't check that, so not sure why not getting a result i have run the program successfully from the command line in that directory, so know it can be run in the first place and the asp program creates and writes files in the same directory so i don't think its a permission problem. asp doesn't complain with any errors.

I am trying to use the Run method of WScript.Shell to run a program that creates image files on the server. When I run the program through the command line it creates a text file and a bmp file which is what it is supposed to do.
If I run it from an asp page it doesnt do anything, it also doesnt give me any error messages. I can run the same vbscript code in a standalone vbs file on the server and it works right. Code:

I've been testing the WScript.Shell object and the Run command now for a server query. The file I am running generates a file with the server querys which i later on parse in my page. But there is a problem. When running the Run command om my Windows XP machine it all seems fine. But when trying to run it on my webserver (not configured by myself) I get an error, or the command fails. It's nothing wrong with the acctuall command but ASP seems to not want to allow the Run command.
First I though it had to do with user privilegies but after giving the IUSR_X full access it didn't help. So, does anybody know a solution for this? Exactly what do I have to configure, for what user, to make this work on my webserver (win2k).

Trying to view asp page which has the following code in
Set obj = WScript.CreateObject('WScript.Shell')
It falls over on this line saying 'Activex cannot create component (wscript.shell)'. Doing the same in a .vbs file results in the same error. The platform is NT4 Server Service Pack 6a.

I've made an ASP page that calls a small executable and collects its text output into a variable ("strExeOut") below. Below is some code similar to the one I use for that purpose.
strExe = "C:whatevermyprogram.exe -h1 -d33"
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objScriptExec = objShell.Exec(strExe)
strExeOut = objScriptExec.StdOut.ReadAll
I developed this in my own computer and the whole thing works like a charm, but
unfortunately I assumed my hosting provider would let me run the (little and harmless) exe, and they won't.
Therefore I have to run only the "exe" portion of the code in another web server and send back the output to my website on the net. I'd like to get some feedback on what would be the best way to call an exe on another server, and to have the output sent back.

I have a big problem with some part of my code, where I'm using the wscript.shell method to open a file...
I've tried this:
dim shell
set shell= createobject("wscript.shell")
shell.run "C:Clip_CreatorTVSA02.bat"
set shell=nothing
and this
Function fnShellExecuteVB()
dim objShell
set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.ShellExecute "C:WINNT
otepad.exe", "", "", "open",1
set objShell = nothing
End Function
I don't get any error but the application doesn't starts, I've also tried executing the notepad.exe and occurrs the same, nothing happens, I don't get error but the notepad doesnt lunch...
I'm getting tired about this code, I've tried a lot of kinds of scripts but I got the same result...

can SO tell me why the following script :
dim oShell
set oShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.shell")
oShell.run ("C:WINNTsystem32cmd.exe /c C:WINNTsystem32
otepad.exe")
set oShell=nothing
works as expected in the context of a .vbs script and doesn't work (with the following changes made...) when inserted in a .asp web page under IIS ?
dim oShell
set oShell=Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'
intReturn = oShell.run ("C:WINNTsystem32cmd.exe /c C:WINNTsystem32
otepad.exe")
response.write(intReturn)
set oShell=nothing
the Shell object is well created (i can check some of its properties) but the oShell.run command doesn't seem to execute the given command line.

When I call the WScript.Shell and "RUN" the object...
I've got nothing on the server
For Example,
objWscript.Run "notepad.exe", True, 1
But on the server side, there is no this process running..
The NTFS of notepad.exe permission is set to EVERYONE already..
While the IIS is running under the account of IUSR_XXXX
Is there any something wrong in the permission settings?
However, I run the same script on Windows 2003 Server, it is ok....

I need to use nslookup on an asp page. So I use the sort of code I can see
in the discussion group:
SET objShell = Server.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
DIM objExec
SET objExec = objShell.Exec("%comspec% /c nslookup -type=MX "&host)
but I get "access denied" on the SET statement. (It doesn't matter what
command I am using in the shell.)
On the physical IIS application directory Web sharing is enabled
I enable anonymous access
I have full control for the internet guest account.
I have permission for scripts and executables on the virtual directory
application protection low
read write directory browse
I have enabled web sharing for windowsSystem32. (I probably shouldn't have!)
Clearly there is something I have forgotten. But what?

No error or any feedback that I can work with.
Code:
set objShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "%comspec% /c NET PRINT GarchiveISLaser[color=blue]
>c:WUTempPrinter_Status1.txt", 0, True[/color]
objShell.Run "%comspec% /c PRINT /d:GarchiveISLaser c:WUTemp est.txt",
0, True
Set objShell = nothing
I can run these commands successfully from the command-prompt on the server
but from an ASP page, I get nothing not even an error. The Text output for
NET PRINT is a blank text file.
I feel something is different on the permissions side because this
code/approach use to work fine.

The statement in an asp page:
dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
now gives this error:
VB err= 424,Object required
If I use setobjShell=Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"), I get the error
VB err= 5,Invalid procedure call or argument
I believe it stopped working in July 2004 after a security update. I have
re-registered the appropriate dlls and ocxs.
Does anyone have an idea? I am trying to use this object so that I can
execute a batch file that was created earlier in the program.

I have a page with 2 frames. The first one has a link that loads a page in the second frame. This page has a button on it. When the button is hit, the page does some processing and loads another page in the same frame (the second).
I use ASP and response.redirect or javascript in the onclick event of the button to do the redirection. When I refresh the page by clicking the button on the browser (IE), the second frame becomes empty. Please note that the src attribute of the frame is not set.
If I set the src attribute of the second frame to some asp page and then navigate to another page inside the same frame, when I refresh the page, the initial asp page is loaded in the frame regardless of the asp page currently loaded into the frame.
It seems that when you refresh the page, the frames are reinitialized no matter what pages are currently loaded in the frames.
I solved the problem by redirecting to the main page in the top frame, passing some parameters and resetting the src of the frame to the desired asp page. Thus, when the page is refreshed, all the frames are properly refreshed too.

The basic gist of this is that it makes downloading of podcast's available (currently) all the time. However I need it to make them available if and only if the date is the day after the podcast is recorded.
Currently the site is making them available the day before they're actually ready. How can I code this so that the asp page knows that the podcast should be available only on the day it is actually ready? Code:

All i want to do is have a form with 17 checkboxes that writes a value to the database. At this point I don't even care, true/false this/that 1/0 whatever! Setting the Access Database fields to yes/no was not working even 1 bit in the least. They would all be set to off no matter what.
Changed it to text and inserting "That" for off and "This" for on, it comes up, but does it all funky, not in order, all "That"'s at the top, all "This"'s at the bottom, and not even in their respective fields. Code:

Pretty simple task ... page1.asp calls page2.asp and I want page2.asp to show the HTTP_REFERER (which I expect to be page1.asp).
It's blank when I try from my local machine and from other machines. HTTP_HOST, URL and various other server variables work fine so there is a work around, but I'd like to know why HTTP_REFERER doesn't seem to work

I've got a mailing list script which loops through up to 20,000 database records, and fires a customised email out to each via the bulk mail queing function of JMail Pro (email component).
Never having tested this with anything other than 100 records, I'm very wary about executing the script in case it times out or starts to misfire.Is there anything anyone can recommend to make sure this process goes smoothly, perhaps even giving the user feedback whilst it's executing e.g. "sending messages 1-1000", "1001-2000" etc?

When I try to open an aspx file located on my computer it doesn't load properly (i.e not all objects are visible like text fields and such) and it gives me a syntax error stating that it expected a semi-colon (;) on one of the lines.
My page language is VB and so no semi-colon is required and when I load the file through my web server by typing
http://myIPaddress/myfile.apsx
the page loads correctly and functions normally.
Several hard drive formats ago I was able to open aspx files with internet explorer without going through my web server. I am pretty sure I have everything installed like IIS 5.1 and the .NET framework.

Ok, I've been hung up on this issue for quite some time now and I would
like some help in getting it to work. I think this may be a setup issue
but I'd like to ask your eminences first.
Here's some backstory: I need to create a VB.NET classlibrary (or another
structure) to use objects for our business logic. However, as our upgrade
is an ongoing process, I must enable this structure to be run in both ASPX
and ASP pages.
Here's what goes wrong: I create a new solution. Create two projects, one
a ASP.NET web app, the other a classLibrary. I put a basic hello world
object into the classlibrary then get a return string from it in both an
ASP and ASPX page. Yes, the classlibrary has the build option checked to
"register for COM interop."
Now, the ASPX page runs fine - but the ASP page gives me the following
cryptic error:
Error Type:
(0x80070002)
/webApplication1/test1.asp, line 3
Line 3 is the Server.CreateObject command for the object in question.
No error string. The error code, when googled, reveals that it's "file not
found." That's about as useful as a kick in the ass. What am I doing
wrong? Why can't my ASP page use this object? If I can only get this
functional then I will have no further issues - we can start moving our
business logic and data logic from the legacy ASP pages to an object-based
back end.

I have a textbox which I need to display the data stored in a variable called "fname".
So, what I've written is:
Response.write("<input type=""text"" name=""fname"" size=""20"" value=" & fname & ">")
assume that fname="jason smith"
and, the textbox only ends up displaying "jason". So, anything after a space isn't displayed.What could be wrong? I know the <%=fname%> thing works, but that doesn't work within a Response.write.
