Executing Shell Commands In Asp
I'm trying to execute a Windows command in ASP. For example, this is a snippet of what I have right now:
....
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run("notepad", 1, true)
Set WshShell = Nothing
The strange thing is that notepad.exe actually appears under the list of processes in Task Manager, but its window does not show up on the server's desktop; the client's browser just sort of hangs. I'm led to believe that this has something to do with IIS permissions, but I'm not certain.

How can I use WScript.Shell to execute Ms-DOS commands and can I see the
outputs commands in the asp page?
In the past, using Win. NT 4 Server and cmd..shell attribute to a variable I
could write the results in the screen page.
Any sample?
I couldnīt find any samples yet for win. 2000,ms-iii 5.0 and asp in my help
files, tutorials and guides, etc...

I have been trawling the net to find a decent example of a way to connect to an sql 2000 server using asp.net and run a few commands.
One of the commands i need to run is: "EXEC sp_addlogin 'Albert', 'B1r12-36', 'forum2'"
how to do this, and display a 'successful' message on the page if the command completed successfully.

What is the syntax for running say. a batch file (.bat) from within ASP?
For example... in MS Access you can say something like this...
----------------------------------------------------------
CurrentDBDir = "c:"
ShellWait CurrentDBDir & "runthis.bat", vbNormalFocus
----------------------------------------------------------
This would run the "runthis.bat" file located in the c: directory. How would one accomplish this same thing in ASP?

I'm attempting to print to a Zebra printer (barcode) by taking the results of an .asp page and sending the output to the Zebra printer, which will interpret the output / embedded Zebra Program Language (ZPL).
Thus, printing the output at runtime. Does anyone know how to send a dos command from an .asp page that will send the .asp result output to a notepad file then send the notepad file to the printer at run-time? I tried the following code:

Can someone explain what kind of commands demand most attention/resources from server and how an internet server distributes its time among web programs/users. You can also refer me to certain pages where I can read through it.
As far as I know, people prefer using objrs.execute statement instead of other commands like .addnew or .edit etc. the problem is since I don't know much about this hardcore stuff of DB, I continuously have to ask people on ASPFREE to help me. although here people here are awesome but the problem is that sometimes it takes too much time so it's better to have first hand info in your head.

I have an ASP page where I build a html table dynamically by reading a database table and populating the <TD> cells with the fields of each record.
I want the last field to be a html drop down list that contains values read from another db relation in the same db. It would seem to me, (i'm novice) that this would require nesting SQL SELECT Code:

I'm trying to use vbscript to run a Macro in MSAccess via Wscript.Shell. So far, I have tried every variation on notation imaginable, and no luck. I can get MSACCESS.EXE to open, but it never runs the Macro, and never closes (which is the final command in the macro).
On the other hand, running the exact same command in DOS works great. Does everything it's supposed to perfectly. Code:

We have need to run server based .vbs files and other OS commands through active server pages i.e
Set oShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run("c:somecmd.bat",,True)
Under Windows 2000 the EVERYONE group had read/execute rights against cmd.exe. Under 2003 this has been removed and in order to get my .asp file to execute the cmd shell I must grant the IUSR acct read/execute access to cmd.exe on the web server.
Is there a better approach or "best practice" to properly secure my web server and still be able to shell out to cmd.exe from asp?

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...

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:

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?

I'm experimenting with using Windows Scripting Host to open files via Shell. So far I can open Word docs and Winzip archives. Is it possible with Shell to programatically cause winzip to extract an archive it to a particular folder? Self-Extractor isn't an option in this case.
