Powershell :- System Management Container
If you want to create Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 or System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr / SCCM) 2007, Container i.,e “System Management” with Power shell here it is the Cmdlts
# Get the distinguished name of the Active Directory domain
$DomainDn = ([adsi]"").distinguishedName
# Build distinguished name path of the System container
$SystemDn = "CN=System," + $DomainDn
# Retrieve a reference to the System container using the path we just built
$SysContainer = [adsi]"LDAP://$SystemDn"
# Create a new object inside the System container called System Management, of type "container"
$SysMgmtContainer = $SysContainer.Create("Container", "CN=System Management")
# Commit the new object to the Active Directory database
$SysMgmtContainer.SetInfo()
You’ll still have to set permissions appropriately, but if you’re looking to automate the entire process, here’s at least once piece!

Masking Passwords by Using Internet Explorer
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Scripting Guide
You can use Internet Explorer as a way to enter passwords. To mask passwords using Internet Explorer, you need to:
1.
Create a Web page to use as the form. The Web page must contain, at a minimum:
• A password box for entering the password.
• An OK button, to be clicked after a password has been entered.
• A hidden text field. When the OK button is clicked, the value of the hidden text field is changed. The script used to open the Web page monitors this text field for changes. Because the value will change only when the OK button is clicked, the script will pause until this change is detected.
• For example, the HTML coding might look like this:
<SCRIPT language="VBScript">
<!--
Sub OKButton_OnClick
OkClicked.Value = 1
End Sub
'-->
</SCRIPT>
<BODY>
Please enter your password: <INPUT TYPE=password Name = "PasswordBox" size="20">
<P>
<INPUT NAME="OKButton" TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="OK" >
<P>
<input type="hidden" name="OKClicked" size="20">
</BODY>
2.
Create a script that opens the Web page and waits for the password to be entered.
3.
Provide a mechanism for the script to identify the password that was typed in the password box.
Scripting Steps
Listing 17.21 contains a script that masks passwords entered in Internet Explorer. (To actually use the script, you will have to create the file C:\Scripts\Password.asp.) To carry out this task, the script must perform the following steps:
1.
Use the Wscript CreateObject method to create an instance of Internet Explorer, and assign the name IE_ to the event handler responsible for monitoring Internet Explorer events.
2.
Use the Navigate method to open the Web page C:\Scripts\Password.asp.
3.
Configure various Internet Explorer properties, such as width and height, and hide items such as the toolbar and the status bar.
4.
Set the Visible property to 1 to display Internet Explorer, opened to the correct page and properly configured.
5.
Use a Do loop to pause the script until the OK button in Internet Explorer has been clicked.
This is done by periodically checking the value of a hidden text field named OKClicked. If this text box is empty, the script sleeps for 250 milliseconds and then checks again. When the OK button is clicked, the value of this text box is set to 1. At that point, the script exits the loop.
6.
Set the value of the variable strPassword to the value of the PasswordBox text box. This is the name of the text box in Internet Explorer where the user typed the password.
7.
Use the Quit method to close Internet Explorer.
8.
Pause for 250 milliseconds.
9.
Echo the value of strPassword. In a production script, you would probably not echo the value of strPassword but instead would use it to connect to a resource of some kind.

The script shown in Listing 17.22 shows how a masked password can be retrieved from Internet Explorer, and then used to connect to a remote computer and install a software package. In line 10, the variable strPassword, which contains the value typed by the user, is used to connect to the remote computer. This is done rather than hard-coding the password in the script.

Sending E-Mail from a Script
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Scripting Guide
Enabling a script to send automated e-mail messages provides a way for your script to send real-time alerts whenever a particular event occurs (for example, when the script runs, when the script finishes, or when the script encounters a problem of some kind). Alerts are commonly used in system administration scripting, but these notices are typically displayed either by using pop-up message boxes or by recording an event in the event log. Although both of these techniques are useful, they require someone to either physically sit at the computer where the message box is displayed or continually monitor the event log for the occurrence of new events.
By contrast, e-mail alerts can be directed to a particular administrator or group of administrators regardless of their physical location; administrators can receive these alerts even if they are off-site. Because most administrators read their e-mail more often than they read event logs, there is a greater chance that they will respond quickly to the e-mail alert. With the new generation of PDAs and cell phones that can be used to check e-mail, the ability to programmatically send alerts using this technology becomes even more valuable.
E-mail can be sent from any Microsoft® Windows® 2000-based computer by using CDO.
Scripting Steps
Listing 17.23 contains a script that sends an e-mail message by using CDO. To carry out this task, the script must perform the following steps:
1.
Create an instance of a CDO e-mail message.
2.
Set the values for the From, To, Subject, and TextBody properties of the message.
3.
Use the Send method to send the message.
For this script to work, the SMTP service must be installed on the computer where the script is being run.

objEmail.Textbody = "Atl-dc-01 is no longer accessible over the network."
objEmail.Send
-----------------------------------------
Sending E-Mail Without Installing the SMTP Service
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Scripting Guide
The script shown in Listing 17.23 can be used as long as the SMTP service is installed on the computer where the script is running. Obviously, this poses a problem: Most likely, you do not want the SMTP service to be installed and running on every one of your computers.
Even if the SMTP service is not installed on the computer, you can still send e-mail from a script as long as the SMTP service is installed somewhere on your network. To do this, your script must include code that specifies the properties of the computer and the SMTP service that will be used to send the message.
Each e-mail Message object has an associated Configuration object that defines configuration settings for sending the message. These settings are stored as fields within the Configuration object; each field is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that contains information for the configuration setting. The three URIs required to send an SMTP e-mail message are shown in Table 17.10.
Table 17.10 Required URIs for Sending SMTP E-Mail Messages
Configuration Field Description
SendUsing
Indicates how the message is to be sent. Values are:
1 - Send messages by using the locally installed SMTP service. Use this value if the SMTP service is installed on the computer where the script is running.
2 - Send messages by using the SMTP service on the network. Use this value if the SMTP service is not installed on the computer where the script is running.
The full name for this field is:
http://schemas.Microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing
SmtpServer
DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server through which messages are sent.
The full name for this field is:
http://schemas.Microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver
SmtpServerPort
The port on which the SMTP server listens for connections. This is typically port 25.
The full name for this field is:
http://schemas.Microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport
Scripting Steps
Listing 17.24 contains a script that sends e-mail from a computer that is not running the SMTP service. To carry out this task, the script must perform the following steps:
1.
Create an instance of a CDO e-mail message.
2.
Set the values for the From, To, Subject, and TextBody properties of the message.
3.
Specify the configuration properties for the remote SMTP server. In this script, those properties and their values are:
• SendUsing. This property is set to 2, meaning that the SMTP service is not installed on this computer. Messages must instead be sent by using the computer specified in the SMTPServer property.
• SMTPServer. This property is set to MySMTPHost, the name of the SMTP server on this hypothetical network. If the name of your SMTP server is MailServer1, set this property to MailServer1.
• SMTPServerPort. This property is set to 25, the default SMTP port for most computers.
4.
Use the Send method to send the message.

Tracking Script Progress by Using Internet Explorer
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Scripting Guide
If you feel that a script needs a progress indicator, it is recommended that you use a graphical progress indicator; after all, if visual cues are important, your progress indicator should be visually compelling. Perhaps the easiest way to add a graphical progress indicator to your scripts is to use Internet Explorer.
By the way, this is true even if the script runs in a command window under CScript; Internet Explorer can be instantiated and used as a progress indicator even if the script is running from the command line.
One way to indicate progress by using Internet Explorer is to display a message in the browser. In some cases, you might want to display a single message ("Please wait....") and then have the message disappear when the script is finished. Alternatively, you might want to periodically change the message to reflect whatever the script is doing. For example, if you have a script that stopped a service, waited two minutes, and then restarted the service, you might display these messages in the browser:
• Stopping service....
• Waiting two minutes before restarting service....
• Restarting service....
Regardless of the number or the type of messages you choose to display, you can display custom messages within Internet Explorer by configuring the InnerHTML property of the document body. This replaces the entire document body with the specified text. For example, this code clears the document and displays the message, "Service retrieval in progress.":
objExplorer.Document.Body.InnerHTML = "Service retrieval in progress."
You can also use standard HTML tags to include formatting when setting the InnerHTML property. For example, this code uses the < B> tag to display the message in bold:
objExplorer.Document.Body.InnerHTML = "<B>Service information retrieved.</B>"
There are two important points to keep in mind when using Internet Explorer as a progress indicator:
• Closing Internet Explorer will not necessarily terminate the script. However, it is possible to code your script so that closing Internet Explorer will stop the script from running.
• If Internet Explorer is closed and your script attempts to manipulate the nonexistent object, an error will occur.
To prevent this, use On Error Resume Next statement within the script. Anytime you attempt to manipulate Internet Explorer, check the error number. If the error number is anything other than 0, that means a problem occurred, and it is likely that Internet Explorer is no longer available. In that case, you must decide whether you want your script to terminate itself, continue without a progress indicator, or generate a new instance of Internet Explorer.
For information about a way to overcome these problems, see "Stopping a Script When Internet Explorer Is Closed" in this chapter.
Scripting Steps
Listing 17.25 contains a script that tracks script progress by using Internet Explorer. To carry out this task, the script must perform the following steps:
1.
Create an instance of Internet Explorer.
2.
Open a blank Web page by navigating to "about:blank".
3.
Configure the user interface settings, and then show Internet Explorer by setting the Visible property to True.
4.
Set the InnerHTML property of the document to the message "Retrieving service information. This might take several minutes to complete."
5.
Use a GetObject call to connect to the WMI namespace root\cimv2, and set the impersonation level to "impersonate."
6.
Use the ExecQuery method to query the Win32_Service class.
This query returns a collection consisting of all the services installed on the computer.
7.
For each service in the collection, pause for 200 milliseconds. This is done simply to ensure that the progress indicator remains on the screen long enough for you to view it.
8.
Set the InnerHTML property of the document to the message "Service information retrieved."
9.
Pause for 3 seconds (3,000 milliseconds). This pause is inserted simply to give the user a chance to see the message that service information has been retrieved.
10.
Use the Quit method to dismiss Internet Explorer.

Tracking Dynamic Script Progress by Using Internet Explorer
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Scripting Guide
The script shown in Listing 17.26 displays a message when the script starts and then displays a second message when the script ends. To create a more dynamic progress bar, you might want to do something to indicate the intermediate steps taken by the script. This can be as simple as displaying an asterisk (*) inside the browser window each time a service is retrieved and acted upon.
To create a dynamic progress indicator, you can use the WriteLn method to write information to the browser each time the script takes a particular action. As a result, you end up with a progress indicator similar to the one shown in Figure 17.4. Each time a service is retrieved and acted upon, another asterisk is added to the browser window.
Figure 17.4 Tracking Dynamic Script Progress by Using Internet Explorer
See full-sized image.
Tip
• By using different fonts, you can create a progress indicator that uses solid bars or dots rather than asterisks. For example, the letter "n" in the Wingdings font looks like this: ν.
Scripting Steps
Listing 17.26 contains a script that tracks script progress dynamically by using Internet Explorer. To carry out this task, the script must perform the following steps:
1.
Create an instance of Internet Explorer.
2.
Open a blank Web page by navigating to "about:blank".
3.
Configure the user interface settings, and then show Internet Explorer by setting the Visible property to True.
4.
Create a reference to the Internet Explorer Document object, and then use the Open method to make a connection to the Document object. This allows your script to use commands such as WriteLn to write information to the browser window.
5.
Use the WriteLn method to create a title for the page, set the background color (bgcolor) to white, and create the message "Retrieving service information. Please wait." In addition to the message text, the HTML paragraph tag (<p>) is included. This ensures that the "progress bar" will be written on a separate line.
6.
Use a GetObject call to connect to the WMI namespace root\cimv2, and set the impersonation level to "impersonate."
7.
Use the ExecQuery method to query the Win32_Service class.
This query returns a collection consisting of all the services installed on the computer.
8.
For each service in the collection, use the WriteLn method to write an asterisk (*) in the browser window.
9.
Use the WriteLn method to write the message "Service information retrieved" to the browser window.
10.
Pause for 4 seconds (4,000 milliseconds). This pause is inserted simply to give the user a chance to see the message that service information has been retrieved.
11.
Close the Document object, and use the Quit method to dismiss Internet Explorer.

Tracking Script Progress in a Command Window
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Scripting Guide
Running a script in a command window does not preclude you from using Internet Explorer as a way to track script progress; an Internet Explorer instance can be created and controlled from CScript in the same way it can be created and controlled from WScript.
At the same time, however, it is unusual for a command-line utility to generate a graphical progress indicator. Users might not recognize that the script running in the command window is tied to the progress indicator running in Internet Explorer. Because of this, you might want progress to be tracked in the same command window where the script is running.
Although you can track progress in a command window, there are at least two limitations:
• There are few formatting options available to you beyond using blank spaces and a mixture of lowercase and uppercase letters.
• You cannot erase the contents of the command window. For example, you might want to display a message such as, "Now completing Step 1 of 5." When this step is finished, you might want to erase the window and display, "Now completing Step 2 of 5." This cannot be done from a script. Even the cls command cannot be called from within a script; the command will run, but it will run within a new window that is automatically spawned. It will not clear the command window in which the script is running.
Of course, you can use Wscript.Echo to periodically display progress messages in a command window. For example, you might have script output that looks similar to this:
C:\Scripts>cscript services.vbs
Now completing Step 1 of 5.
Now completing Step 2 of 5.
Now completing Step 3 of 5.
Now completing Step 4 of 5.
Another approach commonly used with command-line utilities is to display a series of dots (periods) as a script progresses:
C:\Scripts>cscript services.vbs
Retrieving service information. This might take several minutes.
........................................................................
Each time the script performs a subtask, a new dot is written to the command window. However, this cannot be done by using Wscript.Echo. Each time you call Wscript.Echo, the value is written to a new line. Because of this, your progress indicator would look like this:
C:\Scripts>cscript services.vbs
Retrieving service information. This might take several minutes.
.
.
.
.
To append text to the command window, you must instead use the Wscript.StdOut.Write method and write each new value to the standard output stream.
Important
• You can write to the standard output stream only if the script is running under CScript. If a script running under WScript attempts to write to the standard output stream, an "invalid handle" error will result.
Scripting Steps
Listing 17.28 contains a script that tracks script progress in a command window. To carry out this task, the script must perform the following steps:
1.
Echo the message, "Processing service information. This might take several minutes."
2.
Create a variable to specify the computer name.
3.
Use a GetObject call to connect to the WMI namespace root\cimv2, and set the impersonation level to "impersonate."
4.
Use the ExecQuery method to query the Win32_Service class.
This query returns a collection consisting of all the services installed on the computer.
5.
For each service in the collection, use the Write method to write a period (.) to the standard output stream.
A production script would probably do additional processing during this stage (for example, saving service information to a database). In this sample script, service information is retrieved but no additional action is taken.
6.
Use the WriteLine method to write a blank line to the standard output.
7.
Echo the message, "Service information processed."
