Did they (MS) have a qualifiying product in 2003 ?

Do they have one in 2005 ?

Why is the product named RC as in Release Candidate ?

Think of your favorite female actor in Bay Watch in 1985.
Was her name Elniak or was it Pamela.
If later, you are what she is.

Anyone,

I set up two machines to do remote scripting with wsh 5.6. I did the
examples on the microsoft web and they worked fine.

Then I tried to apply the same concept and I can't get it to work. I
don't
even get an error. I am a novice to scripting and I've hacked enough to
get
things working.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish.

I have a XP SP 2 machine that will execute the script. This script will
remotely execute a script to a 2003 Server that has Virtual Server 2005 on
it. This remote script will start and save the virtual machines by the
parameters I pass to it.

Here is the script called remote_test.js that is called from the XP SP 2:

var Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController");

var RemoteScript =

Controller.CreateScript("Z:\\BuildScripts\\TargetsBuildSystem\\VMachine_man.
js
//virtual_server:rdhou02 //Mantype:Start //virtual_machine:build12",
"rdhou02");

WScript.ConnectObject(RemoteScript, "remote_");

RemoteScript.Execute();



while (RemoteScript.Status != 2) {

WScript.Sleep(100);

}

WScript.DisconnectObject(RemoteScript);


function remote_Error()

{

var theError = RemoteScript.Error;

WScript.Echo("Error " + theError.Number + " - Line: " + theError.Line
+
", Char: " + theError.Character + "\nDescription: " +
theError.Description);

WScript.Quit(-1);

}


Here are the contents of VMachine.man.js:

var CRLF = "\r\n";
var VM_STATE_OFF = 1;
var VM_STATE_RUNNING = 5;

var strServer = WScript.Arguments.Named.Item ("virtual_server");
var strMantype = WScript.Arguments.Named.Item ("Mantype");
var strVMName = WScript.Arguments.Named.Item ("virtual_machine");

var objVS = new ActiveXObject( "VirtualServer.Application", strServer );
var objVM = objVS.FindVirtualMachine( strVMName );

if ( objVM != null ) {
WScript.Echo( "Found Virtual Machine named: " + strVMName );
if (strMantype == "Start") {
if (objVM.State == 5)
WScript.Echo( "Virtual machine " + strVMName + " running on box " +
strServer );

else
objVM.Startup();

}
else if (strMantype == "Save") {
if (objVM.State == 2)
WScript.Echo( "Virtual machine " + strVMName + " is in save state on box
" + strServer );

else
objVM.Save();

}

}

When I execute remote_test.js nothing happens. No error messages, no
nothing. And the Virtual Server doesn't response to starting or stopping
the
VM named build12.

I did test VMMachine_man.js on the remote machine using:

cscript Z:\\BindViewBuildScripts\\TargetsBuildSystem\\VMachine_man.js
/virtual_server:rdhou02 /Mantype:Start /virtual_machine:build12

with no problems, works as expected. Now for some reason I have to use
//virtual_server etc... or the script will not work from remote_test.js.

Can anyone help me with this? Maybe there is a better approach to this?

Thanks,

Rebecca
