nameofuser Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I am trying to log into several computers in a classroom lab all at once. This will save time for the teacher when dealing with younger children. Basically, I have TightVNCServer running on each machine. I use an AutoIT script (compiled to .exe) to parse a CSV file to get the machine name, username, and password. I then run vncdotool (a python script compiled to .exe) to send keystrokes to the VNC server. This is my AutoIT script. It works for the most part (a few machines consistently do not respond). I will track down what is up with those later. #include <Constants.au3> $AppName = "Lab Login" $InputFileName = ($CmdLine[0] = 0) ? StringReplace(@ScriptFullPath, ".exe", ".csv", -1) : $CmdLine[1] If FileExists($InputFileName) Then $hInputFile = FileOpen($InputFileName, $FO_READ) If $hInputFile <> -1 Then $aLines = FileReadToArray($hInputFile) If @error = 0 Then For $i = 0 to UBound($aLines) - 1 $aData = StringSplit($aLines[$i], ",") If $aData[0] = 3 Then Login($aData[1], $aData[2], $aData[3]) EndIf Next Else MsgBox($MB_OK, $AppName, "Error reading file: " & $InputFileName) EndIf FileClose($hInputFile) Else MsgBox($MB_OK, $AppName, "Error opening file: " & $InputFileName) EndIf Else MsgBox($MB_OK, $AppName, "File Not Found: " & $InputFileName) EndIf MsgBox($MB_OK, $AppName, "Finished processing (" & $InputFileName & ").") Func Login ($Machine, $User, $Pass) $Dir = @ScriptDir & "\workers" $Params = " -p PASSWORD -s " & $Machine & " --delay=1500 key ctrl-alt-del key space type " & $User & " key tab type " & $Pass & " key enter" Run($Dir & "\vncdo.exe " & $Params, $Dir, @SW_HIDE) EndFunc I found this >post by The Kandie Man in a >thread about VNC and AutoIT (emphasis added): I am just curious, why do you want to run the tightVNC viewer in an AutoIt GUI? Is there any particular reason for this? Do you wish to automatically login by using AutoIt? If so, I have written a simple script that does this. That is the only thing I could find that doesn't seem to be dealing with having to interact with a VNCViewer window. So, I am wondering if anyone knows where I might find that script or how to accomplish this (remotely initiate a local login OR send just keystrokes to a VNC server - no mouse/screencast required) using only AutoIT. I am trying to make this as close to one-click (or drag-&-drop) for the end user as possible. I plan on throwing in a GUI with progress bar and such, but I want the core functionality rock solid before I bother with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted October 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) You can set the local login for a machine. Google "automatic logon windows 7" and the first hit is a TechNet article that explains it pretty well. Basically, create a locked down user account that can only do so much, then set that account to automatically login when the machine boots up. If the teacher needs to do something else, instruct them on using RunAs. Edited October 24, 2014 by JLogan3o13 "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

nameofuser Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Domain policies out of my control prevent this. Auto-logging in for the 2 classes that need it only to have to boot & logout for all the rest would be more of a hassle than it is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisg Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I've had success sending "stuff" to remote machines using "tcp.au3". Could prove tougher if you have to have to travel over different VLands though (i.e. port openings). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
