You can use registry API calls to retrieve the information you want, although I’ve never tried it from VBScript. You might try encapsulating the API calls in a VB DLL and using the DLL from VBScript. However, there may be a class that will do the quering for you and return the results.

Try RegConnectRegistry to specify what machine you want to connect to, then the standard RegOpenKeyEx, RegQueryValueEx and RegCloseKey to get the information you want.

The information you’re looking for, according to MSDN, is somewhere in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control key, but I haven’t been able to find out anything more specific than that.

Hopefully this will get you started.

I just found something in the WMI classes (Windows Management Instrumentation) that might solve this. Using WSH (Windows Scripting Host) you can connect to the WMI objects and use the ‘StdRegProv’ class to perform most of the API calls I mentionned.

If you’re talking about the client side script, I don’t know of any method that could get to the server from the client side(aside from writing a plugin that is then embedded in a page and this plugin could have methods to get to the server, document.plugin.method[go to server and do something]).
If you’re talking ASP then you could write ASP code that could instantiate a COM obj and pass some results from those obj to the client script (but this happens before the html response is pushed to the client.

Hi Inbarasan,

I think there was a space in the above key, but even if you detected it, there is the probability that the value doesn’t exist, which makes Windows NT/2k dynamically adjust the registry settings according to the document at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winbase/regapi_02jj.htm .

I’d also like to have a little more insight into the problem you are facing, so that the reply could fit that which is needed, and not have you confused by my rambling about a situation thatis half understood.

cordially,

One way to find the time on a particular NT machine located in the network – call a shell command script (*.cmd or *.bat) that redirects its output to a file for the following shell command:

NET TIME \\

Replace with the NetBIOS name of your time server. Parse the output file within your script for the time setting.

Good luck, -Ewing

to get the servers time you could try using ASP. It is the same as VBScript, but is executed on the server side instead of the client side. Try the following…

You can view and download the source-code of an example of this by going to http://www.rapid-tel.com/servertime.asp

Hi Inbarasan,

Again, reread my post. It is normal _not_ to have the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\RegistrySizeLimit key and value in your registry, as you may have to add it. Do this: open Regedit.exe, expand the keys HKLM, System and CurrentControlSet. Right click on Control key under CurrentControlSet. Select New -> DWORD Value. Set the new _value_ (don’t rename yet) to 8 hex (or decimal). This means 8 megabytes, the default value. You should really edit the data to be the value of the size of the current registry, or it may read this new value after renaming and do all sorts of bad things. When you are confident that you have the size set OK, then rename it the value by right-click -> rename. Call it RegistrySizeLimit. Close Regedit. This will work for one part of your problem, I’ll get back to you on the other part, hopefully, having to do with the VB script and launching NET TIME \\servername in an object. If someone else can help Inbarasan, please go forit, since it may be quite a work to help him — he asks exacting questions!

happily,
-rory 8)
