With the below command I am able to revert a virtual machine in vmware workstation to a snapshot mentioned. $sVMPath = <path of the vmx file of virtual machine> $sSnapshot = <snapshot name> $Ret = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c VMRun.exe -T WS revertToSnapshot ""$sVMPath$"" ""$sSnapshot$"" nogui", "", @SW_HIDE) But the problem here is the virtual machine may contain multiple snapshots with same name because multiple users use same workstation and eventually they are keeping same name sometimes like below or in attachment. Both snapshots are with same name and in GUI we can use them with no issue. But with autoit or with vmrun command line it is showing error as Error: The name does not uniquely identify one snapshot Could anyone please help me on this.

Recently I have had to deal with a lot of customers who want to send documents to a share on their own PC. Keep in mind I always recommend using a server for SMB shares however, some people don't have a server or enough people to warrant having a server. I made the following so that my technician can have this on a flash drive and it will create a share exactly the same way each time so I know what was done in case there is an issue. It will create the share (If it exists then it does not change the share called scan) It will create the user (if the user exists it will not modify that user) It will create a password for that user (If the user exists it will not change anything) It will create a shortcut to the share on the desktop It will grant the user full rights to the share both in permissions and security I hope you find it useful. It can probably be made cleaner but it does work for me so I don't mess with it too much. It will also create a TXT doc on the screen for the tech to use and a TXT file on the flash drive as a backup so they will know what was done. BTW, I just realized that I have a myshortcut.vbs file that gets installed. The VBS is noted in the notes in the script so you can make it if you want or incorporate it. #cs Creates a folder on the root of C: called scans Creates a local user scan on the PC Attempts to create a share called scans based on the folder above, if it already exists then it does nothing Adds full control to everyone adds scan user full permissions to the share Pops up a notepad with the information for the customer to save and the tech to read off or print out Since I do not know what the actual folder name is of the share I cannot create a shortcut Created on a workstations create a shortcut using the unc \\@computername\scans VBS Stuff in case I am on a PC that does not have the script: --------------------------------- set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell" ) set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(Wscript.Arguments.Named("shortcut") & ".lnk") oShellLink.TargetPath = Wscript.Arguments.Named("target") oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1 oShellLink.Save --------------------------------- #ce #include <array.au3> #include <string.au3> #include <FileConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <File.au3> ; Declare vars ----------------------------------------- #Region Declare Variables Global $ver = "1.051" Global $uName = "scan" Global $hName = @ComputerName Global $lPath = "C:\scans" Global $tFname = "deleteme.txt" Global $sName = "scans" Global $uPassword = "Scanningpass" Local $cntr = 1 Global $shareCmdE = "net share scans=" & $lPath & " /grant:everyone,FULL" Global $shareCmdS = "cacls " & $lPath & " /T /E /G " & $uName & ":f" Global $userCmds = "net user " & $uName & " " & $uPassword & " /ADD /FULLNAME:Scan_Acct" Local $iFileExists = FileExists ($lPath&"\"&$tFname) ; Get the customer name Global $cName = InputBox(" Customer Name", "Please enter the Customer Name:","","") Global $subject = """Scan setup for " & $cName & " <- Company""" Global $cFile = @ScriptDir & "\" & $cname & "\" & $cName & "_scans.txt" Global $txt = "Share name: \\" & @ComputerName & "\" & $sName & @CR & "User: " & $uName & @CR & "Password: " & $uPassword & @CRLF & "Please save for future reference" & @CR & "Version: " & $ver Global $txtEmail = """Share name: \\" & @ComputerName & "\" & $sName & " ""& vbCRLF & """ & "User: " & $uName & " ""& vbCRLF & """ & "Password: " & $uPassword & """ & vbCRLF & """ & "OS: " & @OSARCH & " - " & @UserName & " - " & @OSVersion & """ & vbCRLF & """ & "Version: " & $ver & " """ #EndRegion #Region Start_of_Program FileInstall( "C:\mkshortcut.vbs", @ScriptDir&"\mkshortcut.vbs", 1) NameofCompany() If $iFileExists Then makeshare() Else FileOpen($lPath&"\"&$tFname,9) makeshare() EndIf FileClose( $cFile ) FileClose($lPath&"\"&$tFname) FileDelete($lPath&"\"&$tFname) #EndRegion Func NameofCompany() ;$nowild = 1 $nowildq = StringInStr( $cName, "?") $nowildstar = StringInStr( $cName, "*") $nowildbk = StringInStr( $cName, "\") $nowildfwd = StringInStr( $cName, "/") $nowild = $nowildbk + $nowildfwd + $nowildq + $nowildstar ;MsgBox (0,"Nowild", $nowild & @CRLF & "$nowildstar: " & $nowildstar) While $nowild <> 0 $nowildq = StringInStr( $cName, "?") $nowildstar = StringInStr( $cName, "*") $nowildbk = StringInStr( $cName, "\") $nowildfwd = StringInStr( $cName, "/") $nowild = $nowildbk + $nowildfwd + $nowildq + $nowildstar ;MsgBox (0,"Nowild", $nowild & @CRLF & "$nowildstar: " & $nowildstar) Global $cName = InputBox(" Customer Name", "Name cannot contain * ? / or \" & @CRLF & "Please enter the Customer Name:","","") $nowildq = StringInStr( $cName, "?") $nowildstar = StringInStr( $cName, "*") $nowildbk = StringInStr( $cName, "\") $nowildfwd = StringInStr( $cName, "/") $nowild = $nowildbk + $nowildfwd + $nowildq + $nowildstar ;MsgBox (0,"Nowild", $nowild & @CRLF & "$nowildstar: " & $nowildstar) WEnd ;MsgBox(0,"test", $nowild & @CRLF & $cname) EndFunc Func makeshare() RunWait( @ComSpec & " /c" & $usercmds, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE) RunWait( @ComSpec & " /c" & $sharecmde, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE) RunWait( @ComSpec & " /c" & $sharecmds, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE) RunWait( @ComSpec & " /c" & "mkshortcut /target:""\\" & $hName & "\" & $sName & """ /shortcut:""ScannedDocs""", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE) FileCopy( @ScriptDir & "\ScannedDocs.lnk",@DesktopCommonDir & "\ScannedDocs.lnk") FileOpen ( $cFile, 9) FileWriteLine ($cFile, $txt) FileClose ($cfile) Run("notepad.exe") WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad") Send ( $txt ) FileDelete(@ScriptDir&"\ScannedDocs.lnk") FileDelete(@ScriptDir&"\mkshortcut.vbs") EndFunc

Good Morning, I copied a script from here and was able to get it so that when the screen is unlocked it displays a message, however what I would like to have happen is only the display a message once, but keep the script running at all times, and then every time the workstation is unlocked display a message. Here is what I have so far. Global Const $DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP = 0x100 While 1 If _CheckLocked() = 0 Then msgbox(0, "", "Test") EndIf WEnd Func _CheckLocked() $hLockedDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll") $hDesktop = DllCall($hLockedDLL, "int", "OpenDesktop", "str", "Default", "int", 0, "int", 0, "int", $DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP) $ret = DllCall($hLockedDLL, "int", "SwitchDesktop", "int", $hDesktop[0]) DllCall($hLockedDLL, "int", "CloseDesktop", "int", $hDesktop[0]) If $ret[0] = 0 Then $iLocked = 1 ElseIf $ret[0] = 1 Then $iLocked = 0 EndIf DllClose($hLockedDLL) If $iLocked Then Return 1 Else Return 0 EndIf EndFunc Thanks, Grimm
