  Hi,

  I have a VbScript file that has oSQLServer.Connect statement using windows authentication. I am trying to pass the servername as parameter from command line.

  cscript ScriptJobs.vbs KIRAN\SECONDARY

  this value KIRAN\SECONDARY should be passed as the servername in VBScript. I have the following code

  Dim ArgObj

  Dim ServerName

  Set ArgObj=Wscript.Arguments

  Set ServerName=ArgObj.Item(0)

  Dim oSQLServer

  Dim oStream

  Set oSQlServer = CreateObject("Wscript.SQLDMO.SQLServer")

  Set oStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")

  oSQLServer.LoginSecure=True

  oSQLServer.Connect "& ServerName"

  Dim idStep

  Dim ScriptJob

  Dim CountJobs

  Dim JobName

  Dim ScriptAllJobs

  For Each oJob In oSQLServer.JobServer.Jobs

  CountJobs = oSQLServer.JobServer.Jobs.Count

  Next

  For idStep = 1 To CountJobs

  JobName = oSQLServer.JobServer.Jobs.Item(idStep).Name

  ScriptJob = oSQLServer.JobServer.Jobs.Item (idStep).Script(4, "C:\" & JobName & ".sql")

  ScriptAllJobs = ScriptAllJobs & ScriptJob

  Next

  oStream.Open

  oStream.WriteText (ScriptAllJobs)

  oStream.SaveToFile ("C:\SQLAllScripts.sql"), 2

  oStream.Close

  oSQLServer.DisConnect

  Set oStream = Nothing

  Set oSQLServer = Nothing

  Set ArgObj=Nothing

  However, the parameter that i pass in command line is not being taken as input into the ServerName.

  Please help me out with this

  Set ServerName=ArgObj.Item(0)

  should be changed to

  ServerName=ArgObj.Item(0)

  because in VBScript Set is used to assign objects only, not primitive types.

  Hope this helps
