System variables

[y0d4]

Hi,

I am working on script which should create user, set in administrator group, set password never expire etc. and to set password which is generated from hostname.

Example:

Quote

 

$CMD = "Net user /add xyz 123"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "Net localgroup administrators xyz /add"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "WMIC USERACCOUNT WHERE Name='xyz' SET PasswordExpires=FALSE"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "WMIC USERACCOUNT WHERE Name='xyz' SET Passwordchangeable=FALSE"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "set hostname=%computername%"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "set newpassword=123.%hostname%.123"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "net user xyz password /add"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "net user xyz %newpassword%"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

 

 

This working great as batch, but as compiled exe do not want to set correct password, seems that code is not ok because of variables...

Where i am wrong?
thank you

#RequireAdmin  on top, no needed ?

well, admin user will run that, so no for now...

The simple answer is that the environment values aren't persistent so they are lost after the command is completed!
Just retink your approach here.

i was think on that and try to switch flag C to K but without luck

So why use a script here at all? You are simply emulating a batchfile run line by line?

i want to hide how password looks from curios eyes 
I need to send this script to employee which have own PC and want to use for business purpose... so first i need admin user on that machine, so i can connect with new admin account.

So wouldn't this do the same thing ? :

$CMD = "Net user /add xyz 123"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "Net localgroup administrators xyz /add"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "WMIC USERACCOUNT WHERE Name='xyz' SET PasswordExpires=FALSE"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "WMIC USERACCOUNT WHERE Name='xyz' SET Passwordchangeable=FALSE"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "net user xyz password /add"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

$CMD = "net user xyz 123." & @ComputerName & ".123"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

All is fine, working flawless

Thank you Jos, May the Force be with you!
