Run command & NET USER

[Grantson]

Im writing a script that will display a gui prompt for a user ID and then check if the account is locked out in AD

Im trying to convert an existing batch file that uses the line

NET USER <userid> /DOMAIN |FIND /I "Account active" whihc works from the command line

When my script tries to run the command the console output i get is the help file for NET USER

Can anyone shed any light on why the command is not being piped correctly?

;Find out if account is locked

ClipPut('NET USER ' & $UserID & ' /DOMAIN |FIND /I "Account active"')

$iPIDOU = Run('NET USER ' & $UserID & ' /DOMAIN |FIND /I "Account active"', @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

ProcessWaitClose($iPIDOU)

$locked = StdoutRead($iPIDOU)

$lblStatus = GUICtrlSetData($lblStatus, $locked)

If i paste ther result of clip put into command prompt the command runs sucessfully

Thanks

To check if an account is locked in Active Directory you could use my AD UDF (for download please see my signature).

Use function _AD_IsObjectLocked.

try this, you have to use the comspec also assign you command to a variable so when you do your clipput you know it is the same and there are no typos

#include <Constants.au3>
$UserID = "test"
$input = 'NET USER ' & $UserID & ' /DOMAIN |FIND /I "Account active"'
   ClipPut($input)
   $iPIDOU = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $input, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
   ProcessWaitClose($iPIDOU)
   $locked = StdoutRead($iPIDOU)

i discovered that 2 other pieces of info i was parsing from dsget were also returned by the net user command so I re wrote the script to dump it to a txt file then read the lines

But thanks to a virus on one of our file servers the server support team have temporarily disabled cmd & scripts running on the network so i cant test it

Heres hoping its back by monday :S
