Ok, So the script that I set out to make has been created successfully. My only problem at the moment is some debugging issues. I find that often my new script has an error that is quite odd. Here is my finished product: Local $user = InputBox("B:", "Enter your username", "", "", 215,137) If @error = 1 Then Tooltip("Script Cancelled by User", @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2, "Network Login Script", 0, 2) Sleep(2000) Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then Msgbox(0,"", "The InputBox timed out!") EndIf If $user <> "tony" and $user <> "clare" and $user <> "ric" Then Msgbox(0, "Failure", "The username is not recognised") Exit EndIf Local $passwd = InputBox("Attempting to Access B:", $user & ", please enter your password", "", "*",215,137) If @error = 1 Then Tooltip("Script Cancelled by User", @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2, "Network Login Script", 0, 2) Sleep(2000) Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then Msgbox(0,"", "The InputBox timed out!") EndIf DriveMapDel("B:") DriveMapAdd("B:", '\\NAS-EA-B6-EF\Beaches', 0, "domain\" & $user, $passwd) If @error = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Unknown Error Code: " & @extended & @CRLF & "Please contact your IT Support") Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Access is Denied") Exit ElseIf @error = 3 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - The Drive is Already Assigned") Exit ElseIf @error = 4 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Invalid Device Name") Exit ElseIf @error = 5 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Invalid Remote Share") Exit ElseIf @error = 6 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Incorrect Password" & @CRLF & "If you have forgotten your password please contact IT Support") Exit EndIf MsgBox(1, "B:", "You have been logged into B:") #cs ShellExecute("C:\Network Authentication\login.bat", $passwd) <-- OLD CODE FOR BATCH EXECUTION - ONLY USE IF DriveMapAdd DOESN'T WORK #ce I find that often my error message for @error = 1 is showing up. The @extended value is one that corresponds to a windows error. I do not know why sometimes the error is thrown and other times it isn't. That WinAPI error that I get returned is for an error regarding multiple logins to the share using the same or different credentials. It should not matter. I have the NAS (Which is what I am logging into at \\NAS-EA-B6-EF ) Fully set up with three accounts named ric, clare and tony. Each account has access to Beaches which is usually a read/write protected share. I connect in the only way that windows can and sometimes it wont let me log in, other times it will. If I get the multiple connections error, then I have to navigate through my network in explorer, into the NAS and then into Beaches. Windows prompts for user/pass automatically and I can get in fine. It is just mapping the drives that is a problem. Anyone that can shed some light here would be a life saver cheers

Wow.... Thank you for that, such a stupid mistake. Cheers.

If I get rid of the #cs/ce tags on the username authentication code then I get an error on running the script. I will get back to a machine with the script and autoit on it and I will get back to you with the error.

Thank you for all the help so far, my "end-product" is getting closer to completion so to speak. Just trying to make it so that if the username supplied is not one of the 3 that are allowed to gain access then it says something like "Unknown Username" Or what not. My entire script is: Local $user = InputBox("B:", "Enter your username", "", "", 215,137) If @error = 1 Then Tooltip("Script Cancelled by User", @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2, "Network Login Script", 0, 2) Sleep(2000) Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then Msgbox(0,"", "The InputBox timed out!") EndIf #cs If $user <> tony and $user <>clare and $user <> ric Then Msgbox(0, "Failure", "The username is not recognised") Exit EndIf #ce Local $passwd = InputBox("Attempting to Access B:", $user & ", please enter your password", "", "*",215,137) If @error = 1 Then Tooltip("Script Cancelled by User", @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2, "Network Login Script", 0, 2) Sleep(2000) Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then Msgbox(0,"", "The InputBox timed out!") EndIf DriveMapDel("B:") DriveMapAdd("B:", '\\10.0.0.20\Beaches', 0, "domain\" & $user, $passwd) If @error = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Unknown Error Code: " & @extended & @CRLF & "Please contact your IT Support") Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Access is Denied") Exit ElseIf @error = 3 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - The Drive is Already Assigned") Exit ElseIf @error = 4 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Invalid Device Name") Exit ElseIf @error = 5 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Invalid Remote Share") Exit ElseIf @error = 6 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Incorrect Password" & @CRLF & "If you have forgotten your password please contact IT Support") Exit EndIf MsgBox(1, "B:", "You have been logged into B:") As you can see I have placed my attempt at the username authentication in #cs/ce tags. If I cannot do it in the simpler format that I have attempted I will just make it so that it is an if statement where if $user = tony Then execute script, else if $user = clare Then execute script, else if $user = ric execute script, else Exit. I would rather not do that as I am a Java programmer and it seems to me like just sloppy code but I just do not quite have the syntax/semantics of if statements in autoit fully understood. Cheers

The credentials are 100% correct. There seems to be problems with windows and authentication of these drives sometimes. The error regarding bad creds is inconsistent and often the script will just work. I find after a restart, sometimes it is fixed. Also, there are only 3 users that have access to the drive and for the sake of well... because I can, I want to make it so if the username of either clare, ric or tony is not entered then the script gives you a MsgBox() and Exits. Here is my code for it that I tried, but I have looked around on the forums, tutorials and google only to not find anyone else explaining how to do this. Local $user = InputBox("B:", "Enter your username", "", "", 215,137) If @error = 1 Then Tooltip("Script Cancelled by User", @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2, "Network Login Script", 0, 2) Sleep(2000) Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then Msgbox(0,"", "The InputBox timed out!") EndIf If $user <> tony and $user <>clare and $user <> ric Then Msgbox(0, "Failure", "The username is not recognised") Exit EndIf Thanks for that

My script works sometimes but not all the time. Sometimes it logs me in no worries, other times it returns @error = 1 so I get the unknown error message with a value of @extended = 1219. Any ideas? I think it is a windows networking issue because when I try to do the DOS command for adding a drive I get an error regarding mapped drives and multiple users, although often I am only logging in from the singular machine. Windows' networking needs a rethink, I also get errors where it refuses to delete a mapped drive but also won't reconnect either. (Sorry i will stop ranting about windows as this is not the place). My Code as of now: Local $user = InputBox("B:", "Enter your username", "", "", 215,137) If @error = 1 Then Tooltip("Script Cancelled by User", @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2, "Network Login Script", 0, 2) Sleep(2000) Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then Msgbox(0,"", "The InputBox timed out!") EndIf Local $passwd = InputBox("Attempting to Access B:", $user & ", please enter your password", "", "*",215,137) If @error = 1 Then Tooltip("Script Cancelled by User", @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2, "Network Login Script", 0, 2) Sleep(2000) Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then Msgbox(0,"", "The InputBox timed out!") EndIf DriveMapDel("B:") DriveMapAdd("B:", '10.0.0.20Beaches', 0, "domain" & $user, $passwd) If @error = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Unknown Error Code: " & @extended) Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Access is Denied") Exit ElseIf @error = 3 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - The Drive is Already Assigned") Exit ElseIf @error = 4 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Invalid Device Name") Exit ElseIf @error = 5 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Invalid Remote Share") Exit ElseIf @error = 6 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Incorrect Password") Exit EndIf MsgBox(1, "B:", "You have been logged into B:") The batch code that I use and sometimes get the error(Could be related): net use B: /delete net use B: 10.0.0.20Beaches /user:domainusername FYI, username etc are spoofed. Cheers

@extended has a value of 0. Does that mean that it was not assigned or does the function have a reason behind a 0 value? Either way, will it help me fix the issue? Cheers
-
What can I do to check the value or @extended, just MsgBox(0, "Extended Check", "The value of @extended is " & @extended) ? Cheers EDIT: Used the code I just mentioned and @extended printed as 0.

Having Trouble with DriveMapAdd. It keep returning @error = 1 Here is my Code at the moment. Local $user = InputBox("B:", "Enter your username", "", "", 215,137) Local $passwd = InputBox("Attempting to Access B:", "Please enter your password", "", "*",215,137) If @error = 1 Then Tooltip("Script Cancelled by User", @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2, "Network Login Script", 0, 2) Sleep(2000) Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then Msgbox(0,"", "The InputBox timed out!") EndIf DriveMapDel("B:") DriveMapAdd("B:", '\\10.0.0.20\Beaches', 8, "domain\" & $user, $passwd) If @error = 1 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Unknown Error") Exit ElseIf @error = 2 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Access is Denied") Exit ElseIf @error = 3 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - The Drive is Already Assigned") Exit ElseIf @error = 4 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Invalid Device Name") Exit ElseIf @error = 5 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Invalid Remote Share") Exit ElseIf @error = 6 Then MsgBox(0, "Failure", "Failed to Connect to B: - Incorrect Password") Exit EndIf MsgBox(1, "B:", "You have been logged into B:") Every single time, I get the MsgBox that I set for @error = 1. Any Ideas why, is my code wrong(quite likely)?

Thank you Spiff. I managed to make it work using the command-line parameter method. I would still like to eliminate the need for the .bat but I have played with executing the net use straight out of AutoIt and can't seem to get it. I will use my knowledge gained today to work on my logout script now. Thank you again. Is there a way that I can give you "rep" or something? You have been very helpful. Cheers

Learning To Script with AutoIt V3
RedemptionBlue replied to BrettF's topic in AutoIt General Help and Support
I noticed that alot of the tutorials, guides and the likes around AutoIt seem to be over a year old. What is the support and learning resource base like these days. I am very interested in getting into using AutoIt, however the Docs are very unclear and the tutorials often do not cover information that many must assume you know(but I don't). For example people just say "Check your @error value to decided what to do next", I don't know how to check, use or implement Macros at all and just some highly basic, up-to-date info would be brilliant. Cheers. -
Hi Spiff, Thank you for your swift reply. I would love to get rid of the batch alltogether, it would be much cleaner indeed. I have not found too many tutorials as to how to use the AutoIt API and I keep seeing references to the @error value, yet I do not know how to check it's value, utilise it's value or even know anything about it other than the fact that it is returned by many functions. I also do not quite get what you mean by sending the password as a command line parameter. The Batch file does the share authentication process perfectly, the reason I wanted to use AutoIt is because I work in an office and the Black and white CMD interface is scary for some of the end users. A 'nicer' GUI would be ideal. Thank you for any help, it is all appreciated, learning is always great!

Also, Does anyone know of a way to make it so that if someone clicks the cancel button, the rest of the script terminates? Cheers

Hey guys, I am very new to using AutoIt and wrote my first little script today after reading bits and pieces on the docs. The script is designed to make an ugly batch operation a bit more user friendly for the people in the office. I have a batch file that consists of: @echo off net use B: /delete net use B: \\10.10.10.10\Share /user:domain\username It is used to log a user onto a secure share drive on my NAS. I have spoofed the share location etc. however. My AutoIt Script is: Local $passwd = InputBox("Attempting to Access B:", "Enter your password.", "", "*","M") Run("C:\Users\User\Desktop\login.bat") WinWaitActive("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe") Send($passwd) Now this works fine, however once I input my password into the GUI and it Sends that Password to the cmd window, I cannot make it send an "ENTER" Keystroke. It isn't a HUGE issue as I can manually press enter once the cmd window shows up, but I would like it to input the password and do the carriage return straight away. I have tried using Send("{ENTER}") , and it returns an error. I have tried changing the way I implement the sending of {ENTER} in as many ways as I can think of. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me on this. Also, if anyone knows of a way to run the cmd window silently but still be able to send the password to it that would be even better! Cheers
