Script needing to run as admin.

[Magikarp7]

Hi guys,

I made an automating script for my company that will automatically open an IE browser and enter our company site, then put an employee's credentials automatically so they can login and do automated actions from there.

So the thing is that it's working perfectly on my station on my specific company login. But when I try to make my co-workers use the tool it will show an error:

"The requested action with this object has failed"

So one resolution I thought was to notify the IT guy. I run my tool "As Admin" and told the IT guy to put his credentials for testing. To my surprise, the tool worked like a charm after running as admin.

 

Why is this happening? I did not put any #RequireAdmin on the script. I just put #NoTrayIcon.
The tools runs when my co-workers use it but it crashes when trying to open the browser and putting the credentials. I think this is some security problems I need to deal with.

Already notified my boss about it but will take time for a reply since it's Sunday. I need help guys. Please. Im gonna cry here.

Did you try to run this script in SciTE (not compiled) on co-workers station ?

Did you find out which function is fireing this error ?

Does your script take care of checking @error ?

Thank you for the reply!

Unfortunately, I am the only developer in our office so only my station has Autoit. I had to make the executable everytime I need to test it. The error usually runs from _IECreate() before the automation starts. The GUis are working fine until the IECreate is triggered.

The IE window is originally hidden but will show up with an error messagebox on top saying that "The requested action with this object has failed". Then the GUi crashes.

I strongly believe that there are some security involvement here. Do you have any ideas?

Include error checking and handling. That way you will get where and what exactly is crashing.
