VBscript to enumerate the home directories and their sizes of all users in Active Directory V2

dirk adamsky — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 14:03:59 +0000

This is a better version of my previous script to enumerate the home directory sizes of all active directory users. The problem with the previous one was that some home directory sizes were not calculated because the Filesystem object had difficulties with long pathnames.
I did a search for a WMI based solution but unfortunately i could not find one.
To shorten the UNC path i decided to create a drive mapping with the Wscript Network object.
It’s a bit of a “funky solution” but it works.

Follow the next steps to run the script (admin rights needed for access to the home directories):

* open your favorite text editor
* copy and paste the script into the editor
* save the script (for example c:\temp\homedirectorysizev2.vbs)
* open a command prompt
* go to “c:\temp”
* give “cscript homedirectorysizev2.vbs” (without quotes) and enter

Notes:
1. when you run the script as administrator a h: network drive is created and disconnected for each user. When you want another drive letter you can change h: in the function to another drive letter.
2. when you cancel the script before it is finished please manually disconnect the “h:” drive mapping

Active Directory: VBscript to enumerate the local profile size of all computers and users in Active Directory

dirk adamsky — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 13:43:49 +0000

This script is made for Mike.
He asked for a script to enumerate all local profiles and their size of the computers in his network.
Complicating factor is the use of both Windows XP and Windows 7 clients.
As you probably know that they have different local profile paths:

Windows XP – “c:\documents and settings”

Windows 7 – “c:\users”

The script has to do:

get all Windows XP and Windows 7 clients from Active Directory
check if they are online
get the local profiles and their sizes from each machine
write the values to a central logfile

Follow the next steps to run the script (local admin rights needed for access to the target pc’s):

* open your favorite text editor
* copy and paste the script into the editor
* change the logfile location in line 73 (now c:\temp)
* save the script (for example c:\temp\localprofiles.vbs)
* open a command prompt
* go to “c:\temp”
* give “cscript localprofiles.vbs” (without quotes) and enter

The script:

' Name : localprofiles.vbs

Active Directory and WMI: VBscript to enumerate the ntfs rights of a given UNC path and a given level of subfolders

dirk adamsky — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 11:39:09 +0000

Today I have extended the previous script:
it now also enumerates the NTFS rights of subfolders below the share.
As a bonus the level of subfolders can be set

Follow the next steps to run the script (admin rights needed for the WMI connection):

copy and paste the script in your favorite text editor
save the script (for example c:\temp\uncacl2.vbs)
open a command prompt
go to “c:\temp”
give “cscript uncacl2.vbs” (without quotes) and enter

The script:

' Name : uncacl2.vbs
' Description : script to enumerate the ntfs rights of a given UNC path and a given level of subfolders
' Author : dirk adamsky - deludi bv
' Version : 1.00
' Date : 22-10-2010

strUNCPathName = InputBox("please supply the UNC path to the shared folder")
strSubfolderLevel = InputBox("please supply the subfolder depth (1,2,etc.)")
arrUNC = split(strUNCPathName,"\")
If Ubound(arrUNC) > 3 Then
strRightPartOfPath = Mid(strUNCPathName,(Instr(strUNCPathName,arrUNC(4)) -1))
End If
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & arrUNC(2) & "\root\CIMV2")
Set objFileShare = objWMI.Get("Win32_Share.Name=""" & arrUNC(3) & """")
If Right(arrUNC(3),1) = "$" And Len(arrUNC(3)) = 2 Then
strPath = objFileShare.Path & Mid(strRightPartOfPath,2)
Else
strPath = objFileShare.Path & strRightPartOfPath
End If
ShowACL strPath
ViewSubFolders strPath, strSubfolderLevel
Set objFileShare = Nothing
Set objWMI = Nothing

Function ViewSubfolders(strFolder, strMaxlevel)
Set colSubfolders = objWMI.ExecQuery("Associators Of {Win32_Directory.Name='" & strFolder & "'} " &_
"Where AssocClass = Win32_Subdirectory ResultRole = PartComponent")
If strMaxlevel >= 1 Then
    For Each SubFolder in colSubfolders
        wscript.echo SubFolder.Name
        ShowACL SubFolder.Name
        ViewSubFolders SubFolder.Name, (strMaxlevel - 1)
    Next
End If
Set colSubfolders = Nothing
End Function

Function ShowACL(strDir)
Set objFolderSecuritySettings = objWMI.Get("Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting.Path='" & strDir & "'")
objFolderSecuritySettings.GetSecurityDescriptor objSD
For Each objAce in objSD.DACL
    Select Case objAce.AccessMask
        Case 1179817
            strRights = "read-only"
        Case 2032127
            strRights = "full-control"
        Case 1245631
            strRights = "change"
    End Select
Wscript.Echo strUNCPathName & " ; " & strDir & " ; " & objAce.Trustee.Domain & " ; " & objAce.Trustee.Name & " ; " & strRights
Next
Set objSD = Nothing
Set objFolderSecuritySettings = Nothing
End Function

Active Directory: VBscript to enumerate the roaming profile size of all users in Active Directory

dirk adamsky — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:14:19 +0000

For a sysadmin roaming profiles are both a blessing and a curse.
In time they tend to grow and grow…
The roaming profile size problem results in: long logon and logoff times, corrupted profiles, etc.
This script enumerates the roaming profile size of all users in your Active Directory domain.
By adding extra attributes to the arrAttributes array you can change the output.

Follow the next steps to run the script (admin rights needed for access to the roaming profiles directory):

* open your favorite text editor
* copy and paste the script into the editor
* save the script (for example c:\temp\roamingprofilesize.vbs)
* open a command prompt
* go to “c:\temp”
* give “cscript roamingprofilesize.vbs” (without quotes) and enter

The script:

' Name : roamingprofilesize.vbs
' Description : script to enumerate the roaming profile size of all users in Active Directory
' Author : dirk adamsky - deludi bv
' Version : 1.10 (changed script error based on input from Jim)
' Date : 06-05-2011
' Level : intermediate

arrAttributes = Array("profilePath","displayname","mail") 

Set adoCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set adoConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
adoConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
adoConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"
adoCommand.ActiveConnection = adoConnection

Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
strBase = ""
Set objRootDSE = Nothing

strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(profilePath=*))"
strAttributes = Join(arrAttributes,",")
Wscript.Echo Join(arrAttributes,";") & " ; roaming profile size in MB"
strQuery = strBase & ";" & strFilter & ";" & strAttributes & ";subtree"
adoCommand.CommandText = strQuery
adoCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 100
adoCommand.Properties("Timeout") = 30
adoCommand.Properties("Cache Results") = False
Set adoRecordset = adoCommand.Execute
Do Until adoRecordset.EOF
	On Error Resume Next
	strTempOutput = ""
	For i = 0 To Ubound(arrAttributes)
		strTempOutput =  strTempOutput & " ; " & adoRecordset.Fields(arrAttributes(i)).Value
		strOutput = Mid(Ltrim(strTempOutput),3)
	Next
	Wscript.Echo strOutput & " ; " & Foldersize (adoRecordset.Fields(arrAttributes(0)).Value) & " MB"

Set adoCommand = Nothing

Function Foldersize(strPath)
	On Error Resume Next
	Set objFSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
	Set objFld = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
	Foldersize = Round(objFld.Size/1048576,2)

Filesystem: VBscript to enumerate all subfolders (recursive) of a given folder

dirk adamsky — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 08:10:57 +0000

The motto of the day is: Recursion rules.
A couple of years ago I have done quite a few Filesystem Object scripts.
To refresh my mind I have made some new filesystem scripts.
This is the first one: a simple subroutine that uses recursion to enumrate all subfolders of a folder.
The subroutine needs one argument: the path of the folder.
The path can be local (“c:temp”) or an UNC path like “\servertest”.

Follow the next steps to run the script (admin rights needed on the folder you want to enumerate):

open your favorite text editor
copy and paste the script into the editor
change the path of the folder to your folder path
save the script (for example c:tempenumeratesubfolders.vbs)
open a command prompt
go to “c:temp”
give “cscript enumeratesubfolders.vbs” (without quotes) and enter

The script:

' Name : enumeratesubfolders.vbs
' Description : script to enumerate all subfolders (recursive) of a given folder
' Author : dirk adamsky - deludi bv
' Version : 1.00
' Date : 05-03-2010
' Level : Intermediate

ViewSubFolders "c:temp"
Sub ViewSubFolders(strFolder)
	Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolder)
	For Each SubFolder in objFolder.SubFolders
		Wscript.Echo SubFolder.Path
		ViewSubFolders SubFolder
	Next
	Set objFolder = Nothing
	Set objFSO = Nothing
End Sub

When you have problems/questions please make a reply, when you like the script please rate it with the star rating below.

Happy scripting.
