I'm trying to use this script:

http://cwashington.netreach.net/depo/view.asp?Index=822&ScriptType=vbscript

but I get an error: Syntax error. Usage: cscript badauths.vbs loginname

I'm guessing I need to make some configuration to a HTML file but not sure what and where to put it. Any ideas.

how are you trying to run it ? what command line are you using?

 

I have just run it but to do so I had to change the following lines

[code:1:a9eb600ab8]

DomainName = "dc=" & wscript.arguments(0) & ",dc=dk"
DomainName2 = wscript.arguments(0) & ".dk"
[/code:1:a9eb600ab8]

to
[code:1:a9eb600ab8]

DomainName = "dc=" & wscript.arguments(0) & ",dc=co,dc=uk"
DomainName2 = wscript.arguments(0) & ".co.uk"

[/code:1:a9eb600ab8]

I used the command line
[code:1:a9eb600ab8]
cscript scriptname.vbs domain
[/code:1:a9eb600ab8]
without using the .co.uk in the domain name

It opens an excel spreadsheet and proceeds to fill it with users, good script when it works tho

 

Thanks Phil

OK, got it to run and output the excel file but its emply, my guess is the domain name. At the school they have a single label domain "itsuite" so what do I need to change?

Si

 

Forget that last post. sorted it. Just removed the two parts below.


[code:1:8962a4c9c4]DomainName = "dc=" & wscript.arguments(0) & ""
DomainName2 = wscript.arguments(0) & ""[/code:1:8962a4c9c4]

 

Now that is one useful script, it runs a query on all users in a domain and outputs to an excel spreadsheet the date and time a user last logged in, if that date is greater then 30 days it flags them in a seperate column and also if the account has never been used then they also get flagged into a spererate column.

 

Si, My excel file is empty too but i cant even find the lines that you removed.

 

Found it, still empty

 

Sorry Nelix, dont remove all the text just then end parts like this.

Before:
[code:1:b3756488a0]DomainName = "dc=" & wscript.arguments(0) & ",dc=dk"
DomainName2 = wscript.arguments(0) & ".dk" [/code:1:b3756488a0]

After:
[code:1:b3756488a0]DomainName = "dc=" & wscript.arguments(0) & ""
DomainName2 = wscript.arguments(0) & ""[/code:1:b3756488a0]

I only had to remove this info to get it to work on our single label domain.

 

OK I will give it a go

Cheers

 

Still no joy

If i just double click it in Explorer I get:

Syntax error. Usage: cscript badauths.vbs loginname

If i run it from the command line the i get the following message appear in the command line box:

quser.vbs(170, 2) (null): A referal was returned from the server.

 

Whats the name of the domain that your running this on?

 

When I join a machine to the domain I input LabourNT, however when I look at the network identification tab (in my computer > properties) it says 'new.labour.org.uk'

 

My guess and this is a total guess is that you need to change the following:

[code:1:c1030bc65e]DomainName = "dc=" & wscript.arguments(0) & ",dc=dk"
DomainName2 = wscript.arguments(0) & ".dk" [/code:1:c1030bc65e]
to
[code:1:c1030bc65e]DomainName = "dc=" & wscript.arguments(0) & ",dc=org,dc=uk"
DomainName2 = wscript.arguments(0) & ".org.uk" [/code:1:c1030bc65e]

and in the command line use:

But I'm sure Phil (script master) will put me right.

Si

 

I will give it ago as soon as i get into work tomorrow morning and let you know, I did change the above but ommitted the LabourNT from the command prompt so you could be on the right track here.

 

I think you may need to enter

[code:1:1f2cf5904f]
DomainName = "dc=" & wscript.arguments(0) & ",dc=labour,dc=org,dc=uk"
DomainName2 = wscript.arguments(0) & ".labour.org.uk"
[/code:1:1f2cf5904f]

and use the following on the command line.

[code:1:1f2cf5904f]
cscript scriptname.vbs new
[/code:1:1f2cf5904f]

It looks like new is a sub-domain of labour.org.uk from you previous posts.

 

Thanks Phil, I will try both ideas tomorrow and let you know

 

oh yeah, Phils makes more sence now, but I'm learning.

 

I have TRied both solutions, thanks to you both, however Phils method seems to work the best. The script completes successfully but the excel file is still empty.

 

I dont suppose anyone can shed any light on this yet can they
