Problems with Registry and WinNT

Post by HiQDevil »

Good morning,

I have some test they read information from the registry. For example: the name of the operating system, the installed service pack and the last installed version of the virus scan programm. All this test run fine on systems with W2K, XP and Server 2003. The problem is WinNT, everytime when I run the test I get the result unregistered class.

Maybe someone got the same problem?

Looks like your script uses some COM/AxtiveX object that is not registered on WinNT system.

Good morning,

you are right. I'm using a your example file just a litle bit modified (changed the regkey).

Is it posible to read the registry from WinNT like on W2K without ActiveX?

To perform any "Script" test HostMonitor uses COM technology. You can find links to necessary components in our manual (or help file).
Ok, there is http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... webdev.asp

Sorry, I did not mention you are running HostMonitor on Windows 2000 and need to get information from Windows NT.
H'm, strange. I think in this case script does not need special COM objects on remote system but Remote Registry Service should be started on remote system.
Probably you are using RMA installed on remote system?

Good morning,

it's not so easy to get in contact with you, because of the different time zones. When you start your day, my is allready close to end.

Ok, I have installed RMA on the WinNT Server.

But it dsen't matter, because I installed for testing a HostMonitor on a WinNT Server, and I get the same answer: unregistered class.

So, do you have installed Microsoft scripting engine and scripting host or do not?

Quote from HostMonitor's manual
Technical requirements:
As we already said HostMonitor uses Microsoft ActiveScripting technology to execute scripts. Microsoft ActiveScript is basically 2 related COM objects: the scripting engine and the scripting host.
The scripting host is responsible for the interaction between application and the scripting engine. HostMonitor uses MS Script Control as scripting host. It means MS Script Control must be installed on your system to perform script tests. Normally, this control is installed in Windows 2000, and Windows XP. If you have an old versions of Windows (Windows 98/ME/NT 4.0), you can download the MS Script Control from http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/def ... itedoc.xml

The scripting engine is the COM object that actually processes the scripts, e.g. VBScript, JScript, etc. These COM objects are usually provided by a third party (in the case of VBScript it's provided by Microsoft). On Windows 2000/XP VBScript and Jscript installed by default, also you can download and install additional script languages. If you have old version of Windows or if you want to use another script language, follow links can be useful for you:


Visual Basic Script (VBScript) and Java Script (Jscript) for Windows 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000 are available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting

Perl is available from www.activestate.com

Python is available at the same site www.activestate.com

Haskell is available at http://www.haskell.org/haskellscript
Of course we don't know about all script languages available on the Internet, these are just the most popular that we know about.
