Converting a batch file to a vbs or powershell script

$15-25 USD / hour

$15-25 USD / hour

I have written a few .bat files to copy data from computers and servers to a specific location using robocopy. The batch files / scripts work fine, but we are not using any variables so machine names and paths must be entered in severl times throughout the scripts. This takes time and leaves plenty of room for error. I would like to convert the simple .bat files to either power shell scripts or VB scripts so that we can enter the variables once instead of several times. I do not expect this to be a very difficult project. The second phase of this project would be scripting the following: 1. remove any printer that is installed from a print server or shared computer / server 2. install the printers locally using a TCP port 3. disjoin the machine from the domain with a standard username and password or with no authentication. The purpose is to prepare an environemt for a migration to our hosted facility. We are providing desktop as a service and a migration to our facility requires many steps including the above mentioned items that we are currently doing [login to view URL] it is taking too much time. i need to get as much of it scripted as possible. The project type is fine either way. i have to pick either fixed price or hourly. im fine with either.

The project is quite simple. Will need max 10 hours(a very wild estimate) to do this. Just you need to supply your batch files for conversion to vbs or powershell script(your choice). If you want this to be developed in powershell, please confirm the minimum powershell version to use. Also do you support windows XP / Windows server 2003 also? I am asking this as it might be better to use vbs on xp/2003 systems than using powershell. My work timings are 10PM IST to 3AM IST

Hi, I am a senior engineer with 8 years experience. I am an expert in windows environment (servers & clients) and have several certifications (check my profile) If you need to convert the scripts just to be able to use variables instead of hard coding the paths in the scripts, then i can update your .bat scripts to use variables, without the need to convert it to power shell, or VBS. For the 2nd part, i have already done part of it in the past in VBS, and can easily do the rest.

Hi, Thank you for posting your requirement. My name is Inderjeet and own a small 4 member IT services firm based at Chandigarh,India. We have been into IT since 1994 (desktop software), into Web-apps since 2001, Wowza/FMS based video streaming/VOD apps for about 3 years and Asterisk based VoIP solutions for about 2 years now. We also maintain our clients' servers (mostly linux) with these technologies, on their behalf, besides fiddling with our own Linux test bed VPS's and VMs for R&D and testng purposes. Currently exploring International clients through these portals for mutually beneficial and long lasting collaborations. Could you please provide a few files for review? It maybe possible to use them as it is, or we can compile them even to exe or vbscript if you really want that. But it maybe possible to use them as it is. Please provide a few files for review. We will charge a fixed amount between $50 and $100 depending on the proposed solution. Let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Inderjeet

I've just completed a recently multi-forest AD migration using Powershell scripting, so I can work on your environment. With your printers, is there any reason why you are not using Microsoft's group policy preferences to manage your printers? you can configure a GPO to remove the printers and then target subnets/workstations/groups for printer installation tasks. Straight forward. What OS versions are you using? Also I'm based in Australia, so I'd be able to work on your systems before you log on the next day, which means I can get work done, without having to work around your staff.
