Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Conrad, Suggestion for Version compare : Isn't it better to use .Build property of the already created KiXforms object ? sample : $ReqForms = 38 $Kix = substr(@kix,1,4) if $Kix < "4.20" ;appropriate KiXtart version ? $ = messagebox('This Script requires at least KiXtart 4.20 ','Version Check',4112) quit() endif $frm = createobject("Kixtart.Form") if @error ;dll registered ? $ = messagebox('This Script requires a copy of kixforms.dll (build ' + $ReqForms + ') registered' ,'Version Check',4112) quit() endif if val($frm.Build) < $ReqForms ; required build registered ? $ = messagebox('This Script requires Kixforms build ' + $ReqForms,'Version check',4112) quit() endif _________________________

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	well... this way I can copy in a new version before creating the form if necessary. VersionCompare() is a bit large however _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Oh yeah ! Last Function I (again) read over that ... Hmmm ... So I won't run your script as it would register an old version of kixforms.dll [ 15. March 2003, 14:49: Message edited by: jpols ] _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	again sorry ... Maybe a last try I got a folder called Kixforms with subfolders form build 4 to 38 and always copy the latest version to %SystemRoot%\System32\ without re-registering ... I won't cry 'inconsistency pitfall' out loud now but maybe a whisper ? [ 15. March 2003, 15:00: Message edited by: jpols ] _________________________

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	it gets the file version vrom versioncompare() if the version is less than the minimum required it copies in the newest from a source dir. it then tried to create the form, if it errors it tries to register it and loops it should be no problem if kforms is backward compatable... all of this, and it is ancillary to the script itself... _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	it is backwards compatible ... Well, ok not that consistently Still you should consider the form creation to be checked for first and NOT give any path restrictively Then I may consider to test it _________________________

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	I have the IP version that scans subnets.. but you have to hard code the subnets. If you want it to scan an entire remote HD, it will take quite a long time... I probably could work it up as a remote process, and check back from time to time to see if it complete. Is that basically what you wanted... _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ja, remoteprocess. don't want to hog up the cpu. as it goes on, the remote-process would write to file or yet better, to registry what it has found. instead of ip, think for NT domains it would be better to rock with computerlist from NET or WINS as the IP way is rather slow (tested and proved) [ 31.

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	how would you descriminate for computers in remote sites... Say you have 10 or more sites and a hundred or more PCs at each. A net computer or whatever would generate a list of PC across all these sites. a WOL routine would also be convenient... _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	dunno what is the way. but know that IP is not. hardcoding the server for the addies is one. but even simple 0.0.0.xxx sweep takes minutes to complete even though you use the multi-threading I developed some time ago. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	I can't see anyway of doing it easily... without some external control file. So it would have to be: AD OUs IP Subnets Alphabetically read from external INI/TXT file read from external source (like DHCP or SMS or WINS server) None of which is a one-size-fits-all solution... _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask
