Windows Vista produces Invalid File Handle Error

[Chewie71]

I have a script that does some logging. It has worked with Windows XP, but now we're doing some testing with Windows Vista and are getting "Invalid file handle used" errors on the first FileWriteLine.

$filePClog = FileOpen(@logonserver & "\logs$\PC\" & @computername & ".log", 1)
$fileUSERlog = FileOpen(@logonserver & "\logs$\USER\" & @UserName &".log",1)

FileWriteLine($filePClog, "Log On  :: " & @MON&"/"&@MDAY&"/"&@YEAR&" "&@HOUR&":"&@MIN&":"&@SEC & " :: " & @UserName)
FileWriteLine($fileUSERlog, "Log On  :: " & @MON&"/"&@MDAY&"/"&@YEAR&" "&@HOUR&":"&@MIN&":"&@SEC & " :: " & @ComputerName)

FileClose($filePClog)
FileClose($fileUSERlog)

This script is called by another script (which does a RunAsSet so we can write to the log files...regular users don't have permissions to them), which is called from the logon script. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt

You have no error handling in the event the file cannot be opened.

$filePClog = FileOpen(@logonserver & "\logs$\PC\" & @computername & ".log", 1)
If $filePClog = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open:"&@CRLF&@logonserver & "\logs$\PC\" & @computername & ".log")
    Exit
EndIf
$fileUSERlog = FileOpen(@logonserver & "\logs$\USER\" & @UserName &".log",1)
If $fileUSERlog = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open:"&@CRLF&@logonserver & "\logs$\USER\" & @UserName &".log")
    Exit
EndIf

FileWriteLine($filePClog, "Log On  :: " & @MON&"/"&@MDAY&"/"&@YEAR&" "&@HOUR&":"&@MIN&":"&@SEC & " :: " & @UserName)
FileWriteLine($fileUSERlog, "Log On  :: " & @MON&"/"&@MDAY&"/"&@YEAR&" "&@HOUR&":"&@MIN&":"&@SEC & " :: " & @ComputerName)

FileClose($filePClog)
FileClose($fileUSERlog)

Try that and see if you get an error message dialog box.

EDIT:

You also have a "$" character after "logs" in the filename. I am not sure if this is intentional or if it is a typo. $ characters are valid in folder and filenames, but it just doesn't look in place.
