MooglePower Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I have a script already that prompts for a username and password and then maps drives and creates shortcuts on the desktop. It works perfectly except for one thing. I'd like to make it so that there's an authentication before it creates anything. If the username and password are fine, then it maps the drives. If the username and password are incorrect, then it tells the user this information before doing anything else. Currently, if users input the wrong username and/or password, the shortcuts are created but they point to nothing (since the drive mapping failed). The script itself acts like nothing is wrong. I just want to make sure that none of this happens if users can't authenticate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenobiologist Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 No problem. Where do you want to read the user+pwd info from ? hardcoded in your script? A file somewhere on a share? After that, just use something like If $theStufftheuserinpput (maybe with GuiCtrlRead($yourControl) = $theValueToMatch Then ...

MooglePower Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Ah, I was meaning to authenticate against our network using Active Directory, although I think I figured out a way to do it. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
