May 13 '14 at 14:13 Because of the existing answers I decided to answer this but usually I would be asking you what have you tried? Just posting here as "my code" and "It vbscript runtime error object required 'wscript' gives me error:" is not a good fit for this site, please try to improve your question or I fear it may end up being removed. –Lankymart May 13 '14 at 16:02 2 BTW, that was a horrible title. I just edited your title, and I like mine better. What do you think of it? –John Saunders May 13 '14 at 17:38 @JohnSaunders Better :) –Lankymart May 13 '14 at 19:09 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote Update As it's not clear feel it best to point out your Object Required issue is due to this line Set scmd = "c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //nologo c:\s.vbs" This is because an Object is expected but you are assigning it a string, by removing the Set your code will work (As Ekkehard.Horner has pointed out). Below is my interpretation of situation. First looking at your code it almost looked like it had mixed the instantiation of the WScript.Shell object with the command line for the .Run() method. It was my first stab at breaking down the code, rearranging it then putting it back together. Original Answer Your Set scmd should be instantiating the WScript.Shell (As Ekkehard.Horner points out you can use Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run for a one off reference but I wouldn't recommend it). The .Run() should be executed by the instantiated scmd object and passed the command line to execute. Here is a

You would need to include that script. –Matt Mar 23 '15 at 15:05 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active ol
Object Required Error 800A01A8 is medium-difficult error to solve. The secret of success is knowing where to expect a VBScript method. Another cause is inconsistent use of script variables. The Symptoms You Get Example 1 of Error 800A01A8 Example 2 of Error http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/code/code_800A01A8.htm 800A01A8 ‡ Introduction to Error Code 800A01A8 This error code, 800A01A8 usually occurs when you http://www.visualbasicscript.com/vbscript-error-39Object-Required39-m81806.aspx execute a VBScript. My suggestion is that there is a typo in an object or method in your script. The Symptoms You Get The script does not execute as you hoped, instead you get a WSH error message. One possibility is that you are using a WSH object does not exist or has not been declared. The Cause of Error 800A01A8 Your object required VBScript contains an illegal method, probably a typing mistake or an extra letter. Check the logic of your METHOD statement. Note Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error. The Solutions to Object Required Look for clues particularly the Line: number and check the Char: references. In the example it is Line 4. Char : 1. In this case it is not Char 1 to blame, more that there is something wrong and none of the line can execute. Once error object required you have located the line, pay close attention to the spelling of your objects and methods. Research a similar method in another script.Alternatively, try adding Option Explicit to the beginning of your VBScript. My idea is to discover if you have mistyped the name of a variable. Incidentally, in the WSH message, Source: reports a runtime error not a compilation error, this means you are not looking for a pure syntax problem such as a missing bracket. The most likely cause is a typo which induces faulty logic.In the case of runtime errors, you can use this temporary work around. Add this statement just before the line which errors: On Error Resume Next. Example 1 of Error 800A01A8The problem here is a mix up with the singular 'net' and the plural 'nets'. As we declared nets we should be consistent and in line 3 say:Set nets (not Set net). A typo turns into a logical error because nets has not been created, therefore we cannot use it to add a printer. Incidentally, this is a classic case for always using either singular or plural variables.
