system information cannot control

[phil37]

Hi All,

I want to change the computer name and domain, but autoit not working in ControlClick.

OS is Win 10 Professional

Run("control sysdm.cpl,,1")-->Working
WinWaitActive("系統內容")-->Maybe working
ControlClick("系統內容","變更(&C)...","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]")-->Not working

I would suggest using a command to do this instead of automating this through clicks. Changing the computer name can be done like this:

WMIC computersystem where caption='OLD_NAME' rename 'NEW_NAME'

And it sounds like the domain is usually set via group policy. It may be able to be changed in the registry, however. See this link.

In pure AutoIT, no need to know the old name of the system. JScript had created a function which I used with good success.

To join to domain, maybe this answer is the one to try:

Good luck!
