The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

"Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Type mismatch: 'objMessage.To' "  While trying to run script to check and email password age.

Asked by tgrizzel in VB Script, Windows 2003 Server, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

I am getting the above error when running my vbs file.

Here is the vbs that I am running:

'

' Obtain local Time Zone bias from machine registry.
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
lngBiasKey = objShell.RegRead("HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\ActiveTimeBias")

  lngTZBias = lngBiasKey
ElseIf UCase(TypeName(lngBiasKey)) = "VARIANT()" Then
  lngTZBias = 0
  For k = 0 To UBound(lngBiasKey)

Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute

' local time zone bias.
  Dim lngAdjust, lngDate, lngHigh, lngLow
  lngAdjust = lngBias
  lngHigh = objDate.HighPart
  lngLow = objdate.LowPart
  ' Account for error in IADslargeInteger property methods.
  If lngLow < 0 Then
    lngHigh = lngHigh + 1
  End If
  If (lngHigh = 0) And (lngLow = 0) Then
    lngAdjust = 0
  End If
  lngDate = #1/1/1601# + (((lngHigh * (2 ^ 32)) _

  On Error Resume Next
  Integer8Date = CDate(lngDate)
  If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    On Error GoTo 0
    Integer8Date = #1/1/1601#
  End If
  On Error GoTo 0
End Function

Sub SendEmailMessage  (strDestEmail, strNoOfDays)
  Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
  objMessage.Subject = "Password Expires in " & strNoOfDays & " days"
  objMessage.From = "****@*******.com"
  objMessage.To = strDestEmail
  objMessage.TextBody = "Your password expires in " & strNoOfDays & " days. Please goto https://****.******.com and reset it under the options tab"
  objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "****.*****.com"
  objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
  objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")=25
  objMessage.Configuration.Fields.Update  

  objMessage.Send
End Sub

This is basically a script that I have found and copied (for the most part).  It seems that there are several other users with the exact same code that have no issues like I do.  If I add my email address in the 'To' field I will receive the emails... however that would make this whole script pointless!  

Can anyone help out here?!
