I dont have knowledge about vb scripting. so m asking here please help me... :)
we have one backup batch script which copy all data to another server using robo copy.
we schedule that script, but all the time we have to go that server and check manually that script run or not.
now we have write one vb script that will call that batch script and check that script run properly if script run properly then mail will come as backup completed else backup is not completed.
please if you have any idea about vb script please help me.
You can use mailsend.exe , just have the exe placed in your scripts folder & append the below code to you RoboCopy script at the end. If you don't want to cc or bcc anyone just add +cc & +bcc
type logs.txt | mailsend.exe -smtp smtp_server_ip_or_FQDN -port 25 -d smtp.mail.com -t xyz#mail.com -f seding_from#mail.com -sub "Whatever Subject" -user mail_username#mail.com -pass mailpassword -auth -cc xyz#mail.com -bcc xyz#mail.com
Here's a batch file that uses VBS to send an email.
Read the comments in the script to see how to test it.

Im kinda need help with scripting robocopy.

I want to construct a powershell script that downloads a specific set of files. This set will change periodically, so a for loop is the cleanest way to update the process.
The URLs for each file update on a daily basis with both the date and a unique serial number, but I already have a process in place for extracting that info and saving it to a file. I also have a method for constructing a PS script to download a specific file from such a URL:
set /p file_info=<"<path to file with info>"
set file_dir=<known page directories>
set DL=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Downloads\test.ps1
echo $url = "http://<domain>.com/%file_dir%/%file_info%" > "%DL%"
echo $output = "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Downloads\%file_info%" >> "%DL%"
echo (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, $output) >> "%DL%"
I can also loop additions to a PS script:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /p obj=<"<path to file with list of objects>"
set /p file_info=<"<path to file with info>"
set DL=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Downloads\test.ps1
:: restarting PS script
echo #new > "%DL%"
for %%f in (%obj%) do (
set a=%%f
echo !a!!file_info! >> "!DL!"
)
However, when I replace echo !a!!file_info! >> "!DL!" with the echo lines from the first script (adapted in the same fashion), the PS script is no longer updated with the looped content (note that I now use the PS username to avoid any issues with delayed expansion):
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /p obj=<"<path to file with list of objects>"
set /p file_info=<"<path to file with info>"
set file_dir=<known page directories>
set DL=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Downloads\test.ps1
:: restarting PS script
echo #new > "%DL%"
for %%f in (%obj%) do (
set a=%%f
echo $url = "http://<domain>.com/!file_dir!/!a!/!file_info!" >> "!DL!"
echo $output = "C:\Users\$env:UserName\Downloads\!file_info!" >> "!DL!"
echo (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, $output) >> "!DL!"
)
::alternative that doesn't work either:
for %%f in (%obj%) do (
set a=%%f
call echo $url = "http://<domain>.com/!file_dir!/!a!/!file_info!" >> "!DL!"
call echo $output = "C:\Users\$env:UserName\Downloads\!file_info!" >> "!DL!"
call echo (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($url, $output) >> "!DL!"
)
Why are there issues using a for loop to add URL download sections to a PS script? Is there a way to avoid these issues?
The main problem with your code is that your echoed closing parentheses are prematurely closing the for loop parentheses. In my example below, I've escaped those with carets, ^.
Example:
#Echo Off
SetLocal EnableExtensions
Set /P "obj=" 0< "<path to file with list of objects>"
Set /P "file_info=" 0< "<path to file with info>"
Set "file_dir=<known page directories>"
Set "DL=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Downloads\test.ps1"
( For %%G In (%obj%) Do (
Echo $url = "http://<domain>.com/%file_dir%/%%G/%file_info%"
Echo $output = "C:\Users\$Env:UserName\Downloads\%file_info%"
Echo (New-Object System.Net.WebClient^).DownloadFile($url, $output^)
)
) 1> "%DL%"
I downloaded the binaries of a web server app. Extracting it leaves me with the following directory tree:
./
bin/
start.bat
stop.bat
lib/
*.jar
*.*
As a PowerShell fan, I would rather call Start-MyWebServer.ps1 than start.bat.
This task would be simple if it wasn't for start.bat: it writes the logs directly in the console, and asks to Press a key to continue... before exiting (pause?). The same goes for stop.bat.
I've tried various solutions based on Start-Process -FilePath "...\start.bat" -NoNewWindow, with an without -Wait in order to start the server in the background...
I also tried using Start-Job:
Start-Job -Name "MyWebServer" -ScriptBlock {
Start-Process -FilePath "...\start.bat" -Wait -NoNewWindow
} | Out-Null
This last solution almost works, i.e. when Start-MyWebServer.ps1 returns, the server is still initializing, even though the job is marked as completed. Is there a better solution to my problem that polling the server until it's ready? Or is it the expected behavior of a Start-* commandlet?
Here is the content of start.bat (actually named startup.bat, credit: GeoServer):

Did you consider the capturing of the output of the start.bat?
$psi = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
$psi.FileName = '...\start.bat'
$psi.RedirectStandardOutput = $true
$psi.UseShellExecute = $false
$psi.WindowStyle = 'Minimized'
$bytes = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
$s = ''
$enc = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII
$done = 'Press any key to continue'
$p = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($psi)
for() {
$i = $bytes.add($p.StandardOutput.BaseStream.ReadByte())
if( $bytes[$i] -lt 0 ) { break }
$s = $enc.GetString($bytes)
if( $s -match "`n${done}$" ) { break }
}
if( !$p.HasExited ) {
$p.Kill()

I have a batch file that accept input from the user for the password. It does not take the last character for some reason and I cannot figure it out.
powershell -Command $pword = read-host "Enter password " -AsSecureString ; $BSTR=[System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($pword) ; [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto($BSTR) > .tmp.txt & set /p password=<.tmp.txt & del .tmp.txt
echo psexec \\%computerName% -u %domainName%\%userName% -p %password% cmd
I know it is not the powershell command because I tested it with set /p password="Enter password: " and still fails to echo the last character.
As per my comment, here are the if statements I used:
set /P domainName=
set params = %*:"=""?!
if "%domainName%" == "1" (
set "domainName=domain1"
goto nextstep
)
if "%domainName%" == "2" (
set "domainName=domain2"
goto nextstep
)
if "%domainName%" == "3" (
set "domainName=domain3"
goto nextstep
) else (
goto resetfile
)
:nextstep
My problem is that for 2 of the 3 domains, psexec runs. For domain1, it does not run. I echoed out the command, and it prints perfectly. When I remove echo from the command, it skips all of that and restarts the file.
nextstep is:
:nextstep
set /p userName="Enter your Admin username: "
powershell -Command $pword = read-host "Enter password " -AsSecureString ; $BSTR=[System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($pword) ; [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto($BSTR) > .tmp.txt & set /p password=<.tmp.txt & del .tmp.txt
psexec \\%computerName% -u %domainName%\%userName% -p %password% cmd
:resetfile
set resetfile=
set /p resetfile="Do you want to restart this file? Press 'y' for Yes or 'n' for No then Press ENTER: "
if not '%resetfile%'=='' set resetfile=%resetfile:~0,1%
if '%resetfile%'=='y' goto start
The script does not even ask if I want to restart the script. It just loops back to :start, which is at the beginning of the script.
Please help, thank you!
Try first this with your password, to see if it's complete
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set /p password=
echo my password '!password!'
If this still fails there must be a non ascii character involved.
Then you should change the codepage with chcp.
Then you can use it with your code
psexec \\%computerName% -u %domainName%\%userName% -p !password! cmd
I need to create a script which checks if a service is running and starts it if failed. Regardless of the outcome I would like an email which tells me the results. I would like this to be in a .bat file although .vbs is acceptable.
I have found various posts on how to do this. I am currently using:
set service=###
for /F "tokens=3 delims=: " %%H in ('sc query %service% ^ | findstr " STATE"') do (
if /I "%%H" NEQ "RUNNING" (net start %service%)
This runs successfully and will start the service if stopped however I am getting
%%H was unexpected at this time
This causing it to register as failed on Task scheduler
The second part of the script I am using is:
for /F "tokens=3 delims=: " %%H in ('sc query %service% ^| findstr " STATE"') do (
if /I "%%H" EQ "RUNNING" (
SendMail /smtpserver localhost /to me#mydomain.com /from watchdog#mydomain.com /subject Service Autostart Notification /body Autostart on service %service% succeded.
) else (
SendMail /smtpserver localhost /to me#mydomain.com /from watchdog#mydomain.com /subject Service Autostart Notification /body Autostart on service %service% failed.
)
)
)
)
This is not sending the email as "Sendmail is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file"
Please could someone give me assistance with this. I have tried to find solutions online but have been unsuccessful thus far.
Kind Regards
This batch file allows you to send an email with no third party software, if your IT has not locked down windows scripting host.
Change the port and SSL encryption if your email server needs it - read the first part of the batch file.
You can call the batch file like this:
CALL email.bat "myname#gmail.com" "RecipientEmailAddress#server.com" "Subject line" "Email Body in one line" "smtp.gmail.com" "myname#gmail.com" "password" "d:\folder\filename to attach.txt"
