Send function only sends the first letter of Variable

[nickyyy]

Hi Folks,

First post here, tried searching for a solution but couldn't find anything

I am trying to make a script which adds a new user to an AD domain, I have 4 input boxes each with their on variable

$username = InputBox("Enter the new username", "Enter the username")

$firstname = InputBox("Enter the users first name ", "Enter the first name")

$lastname = InputBox("Enter the users last name", "Enter the last name")

$password = InputBox("Enter the users new  password", "Enter the  password", "", "*")

 

what I want to do is parse these variables into a script in a command line window by using this

 

Send("{"& $username&"}") and so on

 

Only the first letter of the variable is actually typed out, for example if I specify the username to be Benjamin it will type out a B

 

Anyone any ideas on how to fix this issue?

 

MsgBox(0, "AD add users", "Let us begin by adding the user to the remote domain!")
Send("{LWIN} powershell")
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(1000)
$username = InputBox("Enter the new username", "Enter the username")
$firstname = InputBox("Enter the users first name ", "Enter the first name")
$lastname = InputBox("Enter the users last name", "Enter the last name")
$password = InputBox("Enter the users new  password", "Enter the  password", "", "*")
Sleep(2000)
Send("{"&$username&"} {"&$firstname&"} {"&$lastname&"} {"&$password&"}")
Sleep(10000)
MsgBox(0,"Success", "Script completed successfully, Running on Local AD Server")
Send("{ENTER}")
Send ("C:\Users\Nicky\Desktop\create_ad_users.ps1{ENTER}")
Sleep(1000)
MsgBox(0,"Success", "Script completed successfully, all users have been added")

Got it! Panic over

For anyone else, I used Send($username) which worked just fine.

Cheers
