Auto Launch CD on remoted station

[jdelaney]

This probably is more of a windows question, but related to a script I'm running. When I'm remoted into my computer, and load a CD (mounting an ISO, or opening and closing the CDTray), windows does not auto-launch the application on the disk. When I am logged in directly, it does. Any ideas to workaround that?

Hi, Jdelaney. Are you running the script FROM the remote PC, or using the script itself to execute remote commands through something like psexec?

[jdelaney]

I'm remoted in, and running the script on the client (my station). My host station (current) is not executing any script.

Please post your script (or a working reproducer) so we can assist Are you using RDP, or some other remote tool?

[jdelaney]

Yes, MSTSC(RDP)...script (simplified to only do what is needed to replicate):

$WinHnd = Run ( @ComSpec )
sleep ( 5000 )
WinActivate ( $WinHnd )
Send ( "C:UsersjdelaneyDesktopcd.vbs {Enter}")

and the .vbs:

call Close ()

Sub Close()

Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )

Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then

For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1

colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject

Next ' cdrom

For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1

colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject

Next

End If

End Sub

I would suggest trying with the built in CDTray function in AutoIt, and see if that works for you. That way you can at least narrow it down to the AutoIt script or your vbscript (not to mention fewer lines). Try the example in the help file and let us know if that does not work for you.

I will, but the script functions fine, it's the system environment that seems to be the issue...everything is fine locally, when logged in, it's just teh rdp that is choking. No luck on google, but others have the same problem.
