CDO.message vbscript - transport failed to connect

Question

I have a vbscript on a Windows 7 machine in a branch office. It works just fine. I copied the code to a second branch office Windows 7 machine and I get an error. I'm out of ideas.

Both Windows machines have MS Outlook installed.

            asObj.Sleep 300
        Else

Answer 1

Gmail is on 465 and not enough is specified.

Here's working code

Set emailObj      = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
emailObj.From     = "d@gmail.com"

emailObj.To       = "d@gmail.com"

emailObj.Subject  = "Test CDO"
emailObj.TextBody = "Test CDO"

emailObj.AddAttachment "c:\windows\win.ini"

Set emailConfig = emailObj.Configuration

emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 465
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")    = 2  
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1  
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl")      = true 
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")    = "d"
emailConfig.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword")    = "Password1"
emailConfig.Fields.Update

emailObj.Send

If err.number = 0 then Msgbox "Done"

Answer 2

I have received this error before, and for me it was the security rights between one computer and another. it will be worth checking the access rights on the two machines and see if there are differences.
