Script Fails to Open

[Tumulus]

I have a code that will open an application we use for remote connections here at work and then change the password for it. We were audited recently and told our security was a bit lax, so we are overhauling our password convention and changing our current passwords.

This script was working until just this morning and then started to give an error right at the cusp of QA testing. It says "Line 0 ("M:\Scripts\AutoIT\TVPasswordChange.au3"): Error: Error opening the file"

I haven't seen this before, and I don't think we made any significant changes to our code (I added the two control sends to delete the contents of the password field) that could have caused it. Any ideas why it might be failing to open?

• are you sure teamviewer start's alway with pid 13696?
• why using a cmd and send to start teamviewer? I sugesst use Run
• Teamviewer has much troubles after a DDos

is your AV causing the error?

That is actually a good point. Also, scary article. Glad I don't use Teamviewer for personal stuff. I'll be sure to forward that around. Appears that our passwords really could use an update.

What could I use in place of the pid? Could I put "TeamViewer" in place of it?

Also, I ran into an issue using Run and couldn't quite figure it out, so did this as a work around. I'll give run another look.

 

[Tumulus]

Possibly the AV. I can check SCEP, though I don't think we have updated since yesterday when the script was working. I'll poke around and let you know.

Turn SCEP off altogether and then retry.

[Tumulus]

I turned off SCEP and firewall but the error still persisted. However, I took the file from off of my personal network drive and copied it to the desktop. It runs just fine from there. Would there be an issue with permissions when accessing the script from my drive or something? I've never had issues before, although I am using a different machine today than the one I usually use.

By elevating the script using #RequireAdmin, and then running the script from a network share, you could be running into a permissions issue. What is your eventual goal for deploying this to your machines (manual copy and paste, GPO, SCCM, etc.)?

[Tumulus]

That makes sense. I could possibly take the #require admin off...

SCCM is the goal, though if we have compliance issues (our SCCM isn't as reliable as we would like) then GPO is an option. 

[JLogan3o13]

So remove the #requireadmin, and use psexec to run it as system, as I am guessing that is how you'll do your deployment in the end.

[Tumulus]

Yeah. Great idea there. Thanks!
