My 1st Script - 1 problem & Streamlining needed

[EllisDee]

Hi all,

First of all, not sure whether to post this here or example scripts as although it works it does have a problem

This is my first script I have made with AutoIT, its very basic but does some deployment tasks to make my life easier.

Script:

  Reveal hidden contents

expandcollapse popup

; Deployment Script
; This script requires full Administrative rights
#requireadmin
; Do not display Autoit tray icon
;#notrayicon
; Gathering information
   ;Getting username to add to local admin
$username = InputBox( "Input", "Enter the persons name who will use this computer in the format SURNAME, FORENAME: " )
If $username = @error = 0 or StringLen($Username) < 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No data entered or Cancel was pressed", 1)
Exit
Else
; Get the MAC Address of the computer
Send ("{LWin}")
sleep (1000)
Send ("cmd.exe")
Send ("{ENTER}")
WinWait ("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe")
Send ("ipconfig /All")
Send ("{ENTER}")
; Check if Corp. IS&T have been contacted
$yesnobox = MsgBox(4, "Check!", "Have you registered the MAC# with Corporate IS&T for ACS (Authentication)")
If $yesnobox = 7 Then
Exit
Else
  
; Disable Autotuning on network card
Send ("{LWin}")
sleep (1000)
Send ("cmd.exe")
Send ("{ENTER}")
WinWait ("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe")
Send ("{CTRLUP}{SHIFTUP}")
Send ("cls")
Send ("{ENTER}")
Send ("netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled")
Send ("{ENTER}")
Send ("Exit")
Send ("{ENTER}")
EndIf
    
; Locate USB Drive & assigned drive letter, then copy files.
$var = DriveGetDrive( "removable" )
If NOT @error Then
For $i = 1 to $var[0]
   If $var[$i] = "a:" Then ContinueLoop
$usbdrive = $var[$i]    

sleep (3000)
filecopy($usbdrive & "\7_Deployment\Shortcuts\*.*", "C:\Users\Public\Desktop", 1)
    Else
   MsgBox(4112, "Error", "USB Drive not found")
   Exit
   Next
EndIf  

; Delete Infoworks File from Public Desktop
FileDelete ("C:\Users\Public\Desktop\InfoWorks 4.url")
; Copy Citrix file to default users - stops WCSError on boot
If Not FileExists ("C:\Temp") Then
   DirCreate ("C:\Temp")
   filecopy($usbdrive & "\7_Deployment\Citrix Fix\APPSRV.INI", "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\ICAClient\", 1)
Else
   filecopy($usbdrive & "\7_Deployment\Citrix Fix\APPSRV.INI", "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\ICAClient\", 1)
EndIf
; Add user to local admins
Send ("{LWin}")
sleep (1000)
Send ("mmc.exe lusrmgr.msc")
Send ("{ENTER}")
WinWaitActive ("lusrmgr")
Send ("{TAB}")
Send ("{DOWN}")
Send ("{ENTER}")
Send ("{DOWN}")
Send ("{TAB}")
Send ("{ENTER}")
WinWaitActive ("Administrators Properties")
Send ("!d")
WinWaitActive ("Select Users")
Send(($username) & ";user1" & ";user2")
Send ("{ENTER}")
If WinActive ("Local Users and Groups") Then
   Sleep (5000)
Else
WinWaitActive ("Administrators Properties")
Send ("{ENTER}")
Endif
Endif
Exit

2 Questions:

1, Why doesn't this part work? If the Computer has a floppy disk, the script still tries to read it even though I have specified no A:\ When it tries to read A:\ the files do not copy from the usb stick & then the script continues to add users to admins.

; Locate USB Drive & assigned drive letter, then copy files.
$var = DriveGetDrive( "removable" )
If NOT @error Then
For $i = 1 to $var[0]
   If $var[$i] = "a:" Then ContinueLoop
$usbdrive = $var[$i]

2, Can you suggest any improvements to the code, as I've said this is my first one and I've never tried scripting before.

        ; code for adding user as an administrator. not sure what you are doing here and why, so letting you figure out a better way to work that code.
        ; the above code should help you understand how to make your code more efficient
    EndIf
EndIf

I have not tested it, but it passes syntax checks.

I'm not sure why you are getting the machines MAC addres since your code doesn't seem to do anything with it. But you can use my code I've found that works quite well to get a machines MAC address. I store it in the variable $sMAC

Regarding the MAC address, its just to have it on screen if the person deploying hasn't already contacted the department to add it to network.

Then change

$sMAC = StringLeft(StringReplace(StringReplace(StringStripWS(StdoutRead($hRun), 8), "-", ""), """", ""), 12) ; format MAC address
    ; Check if Corp. IS&T has been contacted
    $hYesNo = MsgBox(4, "Check!", "Have you registered the MAC# with Corporate IS&T for ACS (Authentication)")

To

$sMAC = StringLeft(StringReplace(StringStripWS(StdoutRead($hRun), 8), """", ""), 17) ; format MAC address
    ; Check if Corp. IS&T has been contacted
    $hYesNo = MsgBox(4, "Check!", "Have you registered the MAC " & $sMAC & " with Corporate IS&T for ACS (Authentication)")
