The following script will restore a registry with value under Default


Dim objWshShell


Set objWshShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")


WINDIR =objWshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%windir%")
objWshShell.RegWrite "HKCR\CLSID\{0BE35200-8F91-11CE-9DE3-00AA004BB851}\","Font Property Page","REG_SZ"

Delete files of common naming using VBScript

Suppose cr123.tmp, crequ.tmp, crkkin.tmp...........etc files are present under C:\Windows folder.


The following script can be used to delete cr*.tmp files from C:\Windows folder


strDir = "C:\WINDOWS"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objDir = FSO.GetFolder(strDir)
getInfo(objDir)
Sub getInfo(pCurrentDir)


For Each aItem In pCurrentDir.Files
If (LCase(Left(Cstr(aItem.Name), 2)) = "cr") AND fso.GetExtensionName(LCase(aItem.Name)) = "tmp" Then
aItem.delete(True)
End If
Next
For Each aItem In pCurrentDir.SubFolders
'wscript.Echo aItem.Name & " passing recursively"
getInfo(aItem)
Next
End Sub

Install MSI from Remote Machine

The following is from Microsoft's "System Administration Scripting Guide". Note that Active Directory is needed for this VB script to work.

Description:

Installs a hypothetical software program (using a Windows Installer package) on a remote computer. Requires delegation for the computer and user accounts involved in the procedure.

Script Code

====================

Const wbemImpersonationLevelDelegate = 4
Set objWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set objConnection = objwbemLocator.ConnectServer _
("WebServer", "root\cimv2", "fabrikam\administrator", _
"password", , "kerberos:WebServer")
objConnection.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = wbemImpersonationLevelDelegate
Set objSoftware = objConnection.Get("Win32_Product")
errReturn = objSoftware.Install("\\atl-dc-02\scripts\1561_lab.msi",,True)
Wscript.Echo errReturn

MSI Log Files

MSI log files can be incredibly useful for creating silent installations of vendor provided MSI's - for example, an application that has a serial number, or asks various questions, if you do a manual install fully logged (msiexec.exe /i /L*v c:\temp\funkylog.log) and then look in the log for the command line - it will change as the installation progresses but often things that the installation asks the user for are uses as properties, which can be entered in the command line, or in an MST and aid a silent installation.
