Logon user from task scheduler

[joker197cinque]

Hi all, I am a new user of autoit. I searched a little but didn't find anything.

I am trying to automate a process that shoud have been done from the user. So there is a windows server that should run, on a scheduled basis, a script that should:

1) logon a user (with password) ... remote or local session I don't know

2) interact with desktop, run few software, press some buttons, copy some files

3) disconnect from remote desktop session (or local session)

4) end

is that even possible or is this impossible ?

In particular, I would like to have some info on the first point.

Thanks for help.

Read the forum rules. We cant help you make a script that bypasses a computers security.

Yes, it's possible and people have done it before. I'm not sure what computergroove means, but the forums have helped with scripts such as this.

EDIT: It's not bypassing security if you have the username and password.. doh

Hi Mikah, yes in fact I have user/password combination and I don't see how this can be a security risk (aside from having user/password in plain text into the script)

Ok I wait for at least a directgion to start from by some user of the forum.

Thanks.

Hi computergroove; having user/password isn't enough ? If I am missing something, please explain.

Thanks.

No need to banter

Please have a look at the

Send() ; sending of strings
WinActivate() ; making window active
WinWaitActive() ; waiting till window is active
ControlClick() ; clicking on a specified control
; -- these are just some of the functions you'll need to look at

Otherwise, it is up to you to start trying things, and then once you have post your script and we'd love to help from there

Searching of the helpfile should prove fruitful as well.

EDIT: doing a google search showed up this >topic as well, which may prove useful.

I think the best approach to your problem is write two programs.

1st one stay on the remote PC.

1. On launch, perform automated task.
2. Logoff on completion.

2nd program that start the remote session with startup program of 1st program.

Actually, Computergroove is correct.

See forum rule #1, second bulletpoint -  bypassing log-in and security dialogs.

1. Do not ask for help with AutoIt scripts, post links to, or start discussion topics on the following subjects:

• Malware of any form - trojan, virus, keylogger, spam tool, "joke/spoof" script, etc.
• Bypassing of security measures - log-in and security dialogs, CAPTCHAs, anti-bot agents, software activation, etc.
• Automation of software/sites contrary to their EULA (see Reporting bullet below).
• Launching, automation or script interaction with games or game servers, regardless of the game.
• Running or injecting any code (in any form) intended to alter the original functionality of another process.
• Decompilation of AutoIt scripts or details of decompiler software.

This list is non-exhaustive - the Moderating team reserve the right to close any thread that they feel is contrary to the ethos of the forum.

I don't get how you guys are missing this, they have the username and password.

By entering it; they are NOT bypassing security; they are entering security credentials. If they did not have a username and password, then yes you would be correct.

EDIT: willichan and computergroove, if you have such problem please refer to the forum rules, "Finally, please do not enter into an argument with the original poster - that is why we have Moderators." If you think this violates the rules then feel free to report and let one of our experienced moderators figure this out.

joker197cinque,

Unfortunately your username does not inspire confidence.

Please PM me with some details of what run few software, press some buttons, copy some files really means. You get to the Messenger via the dropdown next to your username at top-right. Until I get a satisfactory answer we will lock this.
