View RepliesI'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:

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?
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")
objShell.Run(ExeName)
Set objShell = Nothing
I've the next code:
Public Class WebForm1
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Shell("C:Winntsystem32calc.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
End Sub
End Class
The Shell() function isn't workin? does anybody know Why?
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:
I am trying to run a command line from an ASP page. I am using windows 2003 with IIS6. I am able to get this to run on my local machine (Windows XP IIS5). Here is my code:

set shell = server.createobject("wscript.shell")
shell.Run """f:phsDatahtmldochtmldoc.exe"" --webpage -f phsnew.pdf

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).
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.
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 want to run batchfiles via the Shell, but accessible in the Browser via IIS. Actually, I'd like the server to start a command line ntbackup if a users selects to do so on an ASP in his webbrowser. Does anyone know how to create a shell object in an ASP?
View Replies View RelatedI'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....
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 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.

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

I feel something is different on the permissions side because this
code/approach use to work fine.

Sometime this morning our classic asp web application stopped
authenticating against active directory. This is our only "classic" asp
app that authenticates against ad. Note that this app has been in
production for three years with no problems. All .NET apps are
authenticating fine from the same server. This same classic asp app
authenticates fine from our development server. There have been no code
changes to this app.
We're using the login id and password to bind the necessary ad objects
- we check for err.number - if equal to zero, we're authenticated, if
not equal to zero then authentication failed.
We checked with the network people and they say ad is working fine and
the server is able to authenticate. The app doesn't go through a
firewall -so no hang up there. The guys who manage the web server say
they haven't made any changes to it. They confirmed that the app is in
the correct app pool so it doesn't conflict with 2.0 apps.
I'm stumped.
I remember coming across a MS tool that would allow me to monitor the performance of all aspects of a DNA based application - all the way from the ASP level to MS SQL server. It was part of the NT resource kit. I am trying to locate this tool for Win 2000. Can someone who has come across such a tool help me

View Replies View RelatedI am about to create a web application using asp and vbs to build an online
roster for a department of 25 people. The roster covers some 10 shifts a
day, 7 days a week always starting on a Sunday. I will be using an access
database file to hold the information. At this this stage I will hold all
the data for each week based on the date that the week starts.
I am looking for ideas on how to dynamically give the user the option to
choose any given week in any given year, always starting on a sunday. Could
this be created on the fly or would it be easier creating a database table
holding the dates for Sunday for a year or 2 ?
Once a week is chosen a check on the database will determine if that weeks
roster has been created or not. If not a user with the correct permissions
can then create it.The rosters are currently written out by hand. It is a labourious task which must have certain numbers of staff working each shift for a given day. By
creating a web application automating the checking process and making the
roster available online and by email will make life easier for all staff
involved.
i am trying to install my ASP web application to my client side server, but 1 thing i am worry is they my stole my source code to sell-over or they might modify my source code... how those software house which develop ASP web application they gonna avoid this?I know Microsoft have a program that can encrypt & encode ASP files and run properly in IIS.... But to bad... i also found the Decode program too
So what is the safety way to deploy my application to client without any worries?
Some might ask me go for .NEt, in this momment not yet toward .NET.
