Object Required Error

Author	Message
Joseph Litherlan #1 / 8	Object Required Error When trying to run a script on a Windows 2000 SP3 server, we get the following error below: Command typed in a command-line window to list printers on the local server: cscript prnmgr.vbs -l Error we get: Unable to list printers, error code: 0x1A8. Object Required. We get the same error when we try run a different script "cscript clone.vbs" We have MS Windows Script Host Version 5.6.

Joseph Litherlan #3 / 8	Object Required Error Forgive me, I'm not a vbasic programmer although I know how to program in visual NWN script. I'm not sure how to answer your question. All I did was type the command at the C prompt in a command line window, hit the Return key, and the reply we get at the next C prompt is "Unable to list printers, error code: 0x1A8. Object Required." It looks like this: (What I Type) c:\cscript prnmgr.vbs -l (What we get back) c:\Unable to list printers, error code: 0x1A8. Object Required. If you want me to list the whole code source of prnmgr.vbs, that would take a couple pages. We get prnmgr.vbs from the Windows 2000 resource kit (more info at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/co... rofwin/pw0102.asp ). There is an example of a command line using prnmgr.vbs at the page. The command line switch "-l" we are using above just makes the prnmgr.vbs list the printers that the local server has.

Ray at wor #4 / 8	Object Required Error Oh, I didn't realize this was a script from the Reskit. Let me see if I have it... I do. It works fine for me. There's 734 lines in that script. Damn. Nothing gives you a line number, huh? What OS are you running this on? It seems that the only objects that are created are PrintMaster.PrintMaster and Printer.Printer. Whatever they are... What OS? Service pack level? When I run this on NT4 SP6a, I get the same error. Ray at work Quote: > Forgive me, I'm not a vbasic programmer although I know how to program in > visual NWN script.

Object Required. Hi prnmgr.vbs -l works ok for me (Win2k SP2). Make a copy of the file, and substitute all on error resume next with 'on error resume next Run the script again and see what line the error is at. I guess you will get this result: F:\>cscript F:\prnmgr.vbs -l Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved. F:\prnmgr.vbs(307, 5) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'PrintMaster.PrintMaster.1' If you do, I have no idea of how you can "repair" PrintMaster.PrintMaster.1 (I would think it comes as a part of the OS, and it works ok on my computer). -- torgeir Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of the 1328 page Scripting Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter

Ray at wor #6 / 8	Object Required Error Perhaps try this at the command prompt: regsvr32 C:\PROGRA~1\RESOUR~1\prnadmin.dll (Assuming your system drive is C, and you installed the reskit at the default location.)

We truly appreciate the troubleshooting and assistance you both provided.
