It's OK, I found where I was going wrong.
The line to create the text file was in the wrong place. They should be just
before the this line:

Local PST Search

Hi,
I have been asked to write a script to audit local drives of all
workstations for any PST files. I found a script, from another thread here a
few years back, which I have tried to modify to write found files to a text
document but I can't get it to write all files found to a text document.
It will write files found on the C:\ drive to the text document but there

I can think of two methods to avoid the occasional conflict:
a) You can arrange for some dialog between the NewsWires process
and your own copy process.
b) You rely on a minimum time gap between two successive
transmissions from the NewsWires process (e.g. 5 minutes)

I tested this out, thought I duplicated the problem, and then realize
I made a stupid mistake. So make sure you aren't making this same
mistake. :)
I created 2 new groups on on a Windows 7 box, added myself to them,
and then ran this script against Administrators, test$test, and
$tester groups. All were successful.

If this is the code that the ExpertsExchange guys propose then the
subscription you paid them is a waste of money. Here is why:
- The line
objFSO.DeleteFolder SOURCE,Force
must read
objFSO.DeleteFolder SOURCE, true
or perhaps
objFSO.DeleteFolder SOURCE, false
- You have the lines
objFSO.DeleteFolder SOURCE,Force

tron9...@msn.com (Highlander) — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:39:40 UT

Hello All.
Consider the following script:
(watch for word wrap)
strComputer = "atl-ws-01"
strGroup = "Administrators"
Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/" & strGroup &
",group")
For Each objUser in objGroup.Members
Wscript.Echo objUser.Name
Next
This script works fine; except if there's a dollar sign ($) in the

Just so we are clear, if you give a person who does not have administrator
rights the account name and password of an account that has administrator
rights (or just account manager rights) then they do have administrator
rights.
If you give a user a sufficiently privileged account name and password for

Hi I've got a question concerning CSVDE and the output file it creates.
I was given a list of over three thousand users, I needed to get the first
and last name, samaccountname, and the office information from each account.
I may be going about this the wrong way, but I'm not a scripter so I don't
