I was using Lonk's Name2Sid() and ran across a computer at work that did not have the microsoft.diskquota.1 object defined in the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7988B571-EC89-11cf-9C00-00AA00A14F56}. In fact the guid key was missing.
I have been searching without success to try to determine what process writes those values. We tried re-registering the Shell32.dll which from what I found seems to be the DLL that supports this object.
We also tried to import the registry key which failed.
Anyone else have information about how to fix this computer so that I do not have code around this issue?
The issue as I see it is that you can't create the object because it is not defined in the registry. Trying to execute the script would result in an error.
Code:
Volume = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.DiskQuota.1");
There is no object named "Microsoft.DiskQuota.1" to create if it is not defined in classes.
did this computer have issues before? I bet it's one of those "I had a hard drive failure and couple viruses, but other than that, windows is fine. I refuse to reinstall"
