#36657 - 2003-02-19 03:21 PM Disabling Internet by room number
Billy Billy Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-11-06 Posts: 34 Loc: Birmingham, England	I work at a school where we currently enable and disable the internet by year group, this is done by using the script below: ;disable proxy If InGroup("YR8") $rmv = DelKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings") Shell "regedit /s c:\WINDOWS\disanet.reg" EndIf Is there any way of changing the script to enable and disable the internet in room rather than year group. The computers are named by which room they are in. For example, the fourth computer in the room called S5 is call S5-04. Would be extremely grateful if any one can help. THANX

Then you don't need to edit the script whne making changes. code: ; binary values to enable/disable Internet Access [Rooms] S1=0 S2=1 S3=0 S4=0 S5=1 code: $room=split(@wksta,"-")[0] $status=readprofilestring('status.ini','Rooms',$room) if $status ; enable Internet access else ; disable Internet access endif _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Stephen Wintle Stephen Wintle Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-10 Posts: 444 Loc: England	Is there anyway of using the @worksta macro to determine what room the machine is in? Maybe if I use something like SET Room=S5 for all machines that are in S5. Then kix checks this is true in the config.sys file reads this if the condition is true then runs a script to disable the proxysever... Is this possible Steve _________________________ Dont worry because a rival imitates you. As long as they follow in your tracks they cant pass you!

Stephen Wintle Stephen Wintle Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-10 Posts: 444 Loc: England	Perhaps a READPROFILESTRING command something like; code: $rd = ReadProfileString("c:\autoexec.bat", "", "ROOM") If $rd="ITOFF" ? "read this string result is " + $rd Endif _________________________ Dont worry because a rival imitates you. As long as they follow in your tracks they cant pass you!

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Ok, bypassed my stack overflow Stephen: 1. -> Yes there is a way to determine the room number by @wksta macro (but only the Workstation names contain the room number) 2. -> Redprofilestring in Autoexec.bat won't work as Autoexec.bat is far away from ini format ... 3. -> do NOT hijack others posts _________________________

Stephen Wintle Stephen Wintle Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-10 Posts: 444 Loc: England	JPOLS, THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS, THOUGH BILLY IS MY TECHNICIAN. ReadProfileString will work in INI format is this possible for one of these to include ROOM=S5 ETC this way I an use kix to detemine the room the computers are in...

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	ah ok ... can't smell that Billy stated : quote: The computers are named by which room they are in. For example, the fourth computer in the room called S5 is call S5-04 so the possible scriptlet (using at least KiX 4.20) would be : ini-file used to determine which are enabled : code: [RoomsEnabled] Rooms=S5,S4,S3 Script to run : break on $ini = "[path]\inifile.ini" $enabled = split(readprofilestring($ini, "RoomsEnabled" , "Rooms"), ",") if ascan($enabled, substr(@wksta,1,2) ) > -1 ; first 2 chars of Workstationname ; matches one of the elements of $enabled ; do the appropriate step to enable here! else ; disable! $rmv = delkey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings") Shell "regedit /s c:\WINDOWS\disanet.reg" endif hth [ 13.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Which is pretty much identical to what I proposed. I just have each room separately with a binary value determining whether it's Internet-enabled or not. This will make it easier to retrieve the room status. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
