Login after lock

[MarcV]

Hello,

I created a autoit exe that is sheduled in windows. It opens a program and simulate actions that activate the program.

The problem is that the PC autolock after a while, and the simulation does not work because the script waits until the program is opened and fucused.

Is there a way to unlock the PC, so the script can work fine.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi,

After a search, I found this:

Local $sDomain = 'domain'
      Local $sUserN  = 'user'
      Local $sPass   = 'password'

      RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon', 'AutoAdminLogon', 'REG_SZ',1)
      RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon', 'DefaultDomainName', 'REG_SZ', $sDomain)
      RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon', 'DefaultUserName', 'REG_SZ', $sUserN)
      RegWrite('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon', 'DefaultPassword', 'REG_SZ', $sPass)

But it's not working.

Did I forget something?

Thanks,

Marc

Hi MarcV,

what you found is a way to login to Windows without the need of entering username and password. This does not prevent you from being locked and unlock your session.

Here's 1 you can check out...

if you are aloud to keep the workstation unlocked then you can use something like

While 1
    $mouse=MouseGetPos()
    If $mouse[0] > @DesktopWidth/2 And $mouse[1] > @DesktopHeight/2 Then
        MouseMove($mouse[0]-2,$mouse[1]-2)
    ElseIf $mouse[0] < @DesktopWidth/2 And $mouse[1] < @DesktopHeight/2 Then
        MouseMove($mouse[0]+2,$mouse[1]+2)
    ElseIf $mouse[0] > @DesktopWidth/2 And $mouse[1] < @DesktopHeight/2 Then
        MouseMove($mouse[0]-2,$mouse[1]+2)
    ElseIf $mouse[0] < @DesktopWidth/2 And $mouse[1] > @DesktopHeight/2 Then
        MouseMove($mouse[0]+2,$mouse[1]-2)
    EndIf
    Sleep(60000)
WEnd

to keep it from locking, then you can have your scripts run uninterrupted.

You can write your script the way it will work also on locked station.

I prefer to unlock the station from within the AutoIt-script, more than running an external program (PStools remoteUnlock.exe)

I will try it.

Thanks,
