Hi All,

In order to use this script, I’m wondering of where should I run it before the VCB backup script take place then ?

Shall I scheduled it manually 1 hour before I execute the VCB backup script ?

Thanks.

The error I got was:

Line: 11
Char: 1
Error: Unable to wait for process
Code: 80020009
Source: WshShell.Run

I changed
Return = WshShell.Run(“sdelete -c ” & d, 1, TRUE)

from TRUE to FALSE and it worked fine.

Never mind. Turns out the problem was the fact that the code was saved in Wordpad instead of Notepad. Once that was fixed the script worked great.

I’m getting the same error as Don. I saw your post about including the code tag. What do I need to do to fix this error?

Thanks!

Sorry forgot to include the code tag in wordpress, and it converted the quotes the wrong way should be solved!

I have downloaded the sysinternals executeable, and placed it in windows\system32 folder. I have created the sdelfrag.vbs file including the text provided. However, when i try to run the .vbs it gives an error about an invalid character, line 1, character 37. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if I need some other windows component installed in order to run this vbscript.

Thanks!

Don
