Logging on with Your Alter Ego

Nothing is more important than a WMI or ADSI connections, the use of alternative credentials. One thorny point alternate certificate is obtained Password Remember, you never hard-code passwords into the script.

Following is a handy feature, you can use the collection of password from the command line (can only run on XP or 2003, and the script is currently being run by the cscript, rather than wscript): function getpassword (strusername) bleak objscriptpw, strpassword a objscriptpw = createobject ( "scriptpw.password") wscript.echo "Password" _ strusername ", and press Enter:" strpassword = = objscriptpw.getpassword getpassword strpassword this function I use this feature Below made WMI connections, the use of alternative evidence (ie, other than the certificate of my script is implementation): bleak objlocator, objwmi a objlocator = createobject ( "wbemscripting.swbemlocator" ) error in the next year to resume a objwmi = objlocator.connectserver ( "server1" _ "rootcimv2", "administrator", _ getpassword ( " administrator ")) If mistakes <> 0, then wscript.echo" error message: " err.description otherwise You has been connected to - use o bjwmi.execquery for the implementation of the end if a similar trick works ADSI connections: constants ads_secure_authentication = 1 objroot bleak, objdomain a objroot = getobject ( "LDAP:") error in the next year to resume a objdomain = objroot.opendsobject (_ "LDAP: / / dc = company, dc = com ", _ " CN = admindon, Europe = administrator, DC = company, dc = com ", _ getpassword (" @ company admindon . com "), _ ads_secure_authentication) If mistakes <> 0, then wscript.echo" error message: " err.description otherwise You have connections - o bjdomain in this , for example, represents the domain If the end these are easier to maintain your position reusable library script clips.
