creating a script for a host file

[mopat]

Hi all,

I was just given an assignment for a simple task of creating a script for a host file.

My main goal is to:

1. specify file in specified directory(host file)

2. Tell script to write a (11.111.111.111 abc.com) line to the host file

3. Tell script to save file & overwrite anything if necessary in the specified directory.

Until now I had no idea what a script was so Im extremely new to this and was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction of what to look for.

It would be greatly appreciate. Thanks!

Below is a sample script to check your version of WSH and WMI.

'Script to display WSH, VBScript, WMI, and ADSI versions
'Script created by Guy Thomas

On Error Resume Next

WScript.Echo "WSH Version: " & WScript.Version

Wscript.Echo "VBScript Version: " & ScriptEngineMajorVersion _
& "." & ScriptEngineMinorVersion

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer _
& "\root\cimv2")
Set colWMISettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_WMISetting")
For Each objWMISetting in colWMISettings
Wscript.Echo "WMI Version: " & objWMISetting.BuildVersion
Next

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strAdsiVersion = _
objShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{E92B03AB-B707-11d2-9CBD-0000F87A369E}\Version")
If strAdsiVersion = vbEmpty Then
strAdsiVersion = objShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ADs\Providers\LDAP\")
If strAdsiVersion = vbEmpty Then
strAdsiVersion = "ADSI is not installed."
Else
strAdsiVersion = "2.0"
End If
End If
WScript.Echo "ADSI Version: " & strAdsiVersion

Copy the above script into Notepad
Save with a .vbs extension, e.g. guydemo.vbs.
Double click to execute.
