Then use wrapper to schedule a job that checks the if the file exists and then moves it, scans the computers in it and then delete the file. Have been using this for a year now and it works perfect. Only computers that recently have been restarted are scanned and the user don´t see any delays. Make a startupscript that echoes the computername/ipadress to a textfile in a shared folder.

Could you describe how you run ss-xml2word, ie the parameters you use and where the files reside?

Athif: If you are using the Word output you have to have Word installed on the computer you are running the script from. However you can also write output to an XML file and convert it to a Word document with ss-xml2word.vbs.

On my server, I have installed Microsoft WORD VIEWER and ran the SYDI-SERVER.vbs script and it throws the following error; Start subroutine: PopulateWordfile() 429 -- ActiveX component can't create object (.) Could not open Microsoft Word, verify that it is correctly installed on the computer you are scanning from. Is this a limitation? As a policy, I can’t install MS Word on the web server – I can only install WORD VIEWER. Please advice. I will be glad if the script can work with word viewer or atleast if the script can save the result to a .doc file which I can copy to my workstation and open it. Thanks again. Athif - www.msmvps.com/athif Hi,

Many thanks for the great script.

On my server, I have installed Microsoft WORD VIEWER and ran the SYDI-SERVER.vbs script and it throws the following error;

Start subroutine: PopulateWordfile()
429 — ActiveX component can’t create object (.)
Could not open Microsoft Word, verify that it is correctly installed on the computer you are scanning from.

Is this a limitation? As a policy, I can’t install MS Word on the web server – I can only install WORD VIEWER.

Please advice. I will be glad if the script can work with word viewer or atleast if the script can save the result to a .doc file which I can copy to my workstation and open it.

Thanks again.
