NDog Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi allI am trying to write a section of a script that will query if active administrators exist on the local machine and return a yes or no value. The logic is to query wmi and if at least one active administrator account is found then return positive value. If completing a scan and nothing found then assume no value.I am using the advice found There are some parts which don't make sense to me. I will simplify as much as possible to explain.#include <Array.au3> $objComputer = ObjGet("WinNT://." ) $objComputer.Filter = _ArrayCreate( "User" ) For $objUser In $objComputer Consolewrite( "Name: " & $objUser.Name & @CRLF) Consolewrite( "AccountDisabled: " & $objUser.AccountDisabled & @CRLF) Consolewrite(@CRLF) NextHow can I query the values of what is being passed here? Nowhere can I find documentation for the _ArrayCreate function. Also I have no idea how to query the data, eg _ArrayDisplay("User"), _ArrayDisplay($objUser), _ArrayDisplay($objComputer) does not return anything. I do not know how to query the data that is running in this script and am working blind.This is how I would like the script to work1) First query groups and get administrators2) If administrative group user found then pass that user into a function which checks if that user account is enabled or disabled ($objUser.AccountDisabled)3) return positive / negative resultThis script is way off but since I do not know how to query the data I am working with it is the best I can come up with. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!#include <Array.au3> $colGroups = ObjGet("WinNT://.") $colGroups.Filter = _ArrayCreate("group") For $objGroup In $colGroups For $objUser in $objGroup.Members If $objGroup.Name = "Administrators" Then ;ConsoleWrite("Local Group: " & $objGroup.Name & @CRLF) ;ConsoleWrite("Local User: " & $objUser.name & @CRLF) ;Consolewrite(@CRLF) CheckEnabled($objUser.name) EndIf Next Next Func CheckEnabled($user) $objComputer = ObjGet("WinNT://." ) $objComputer.Filter = _ArrayCreate( "User" ) For $objUser In $objComputer Consolewrite( "Name: " & $objUser.Name & @CRLF) Consolewrite( "AccountDisabled: " & $objUser.AccountDisabled & @CRLF) Consolewrite(@CRLF) Next EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 First, you're using _ArrayCreate incorrectly. What that function does is simply creates a 21 element 1D array and returns it. You have to assign at least one element of the array, which is put into [0] of the array, and you can optionally pass the function the other 20 elements if you wish to. But you'd have to use it like this "$Array = _ArrayCreate("User")", that will make $Array[0] = "User" and the other 20 elements = "0". You can use _ArrayDisplay to show the array like this "_ArrayDisplay($Array)". Personally, I'd never use _ArrayCreate because there are much better ways of creating an array, which is why this function is undocumented and will someday be removed. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

NDog Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the advice. I am just hacking up best as I could to make *something* workable. Arrays are very confusion for me. Do you think you could show me how to modify the $colGroups.Filter = _ArrayCreate("group") to be better? Thanks! Code works but I am afraid latest versions will break it... ; compile as console application! ; script function scans if any other user than administrator is active and returns enabled if true #NoTrayIcon #include <Array.au3> $colGroups = ObjGet("WinNT://.") $colGroups.Filter = _ArrayCreate("group") For $objGroup In $colGroups For $objUser in $objGroup.Members If $objGroup.Name = "Administrators" Then ;ConsoleWrite("Local Group: " & $objGroup.Name & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite("Admin User: " & $objUser.name & @CRLF) ;Consolewrite(@CRLF) If $objUser.name <> "Administrator" Then CheckEnabled($objUser.name) EndIf Next Next ConsoleWrite("Disabled") Func CheckEnabled($UserName) $objUser = ObjGet("WinNT://./" & $UserName) ;Consolewrite( "Name: " & $objUser.Name & @CRLF) ;Consolewrite( "AccountDisabled: " & $objUser.AccountDisabled & @CRLF) ;Consolewrite(@CRLF) If $objUser.AccountDisabled = False Then ConsoleWrite("Enabled") Exit EndIf EndFunc Edited January 10, 2012 by NDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
