Script failing on one workstation

[Danp]

Hi All,

I have a single workstation that won't properly transmit the logged in user information to UT. In troubleshooting, I've determined that the user, domain and host information is missing from the URL.

I believe there is an issue with the registration of some activex objects because I don't get the popup from the following code:

Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshShell.Popup("Test")

FWIW, I tried reinstalling v5.7 of the scripting engine, but it barfs because the installed Service Pack version is newer.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

TIA, Dan

I've had some XP boxes do this... but reinstalling the script host fixed it.

Have you tried this?

Yes. It won't install because of the box having SP3 installed, which I guess installs a newer version.

I notice that this particular box has the 5.8 version of vbscript.dll installed, but I'm unsure if that would be the cause of this problem. I found this article, but it will be tomorrow before I can see if applying it will fix the issue.

Installed the update and rebooted, but the issue remains. This appears to be some form of rights issue, because the script runs correctly if I login as administrator.

Monitored the script with Filemon, and I'm getting Access Denied on scrrun.dll.

EDIT: Fixed permissions on the DLL and everything seems to be working now.

Thanks, Dan
