Dir creation problem - (Moved)

[Siva88]

Hi, I need to create a folder under "C:\Program Files\Mozilla firefox". But the challenge is i'm running the script as non-elevated user and even i can mention the username and password of admin credentials. I need a script for creating a folder under that directory and need to paste one file from network.

the folder "C:\Program Files" is protected by windows itself against write access without elevated rights ("Run as administrator", it's even not sufficent to be locally logged on as member of the local group "Administrators"!)

add the line ...

#RequireAdmin

... on top of your script, *IF* you really need to write to that folder.

 

Another option would be not to "pull" the file from the workstation, but to "push" it from the server side. Either by a Script, or using GPO.

 

CU, Rudi.

Hi, #RequireAdmin while adding this it's asking a popup username and password is it possible to mention the local administrator credentials in script itself and pass it?

Have a look at this post:

can you  please tell me why this script is not working..

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <array.au3>
$file = "C:\mscript\ips.txt"
FileOpen($file, 0)
$fileuser = "C:\mscript\username.txt"
FileOpen($fileuser, 0)
$uname = FileReadLine($fileuser, 1)
$passwd = FileReadLine($fileuser, 2)

For $i = 1 to _FileCountLines($file)
    $line = FileReadLine($file, $i)
Local $sOutput = ""
Local $sOutPath = "C:\mscript"
$sFileName = $sOutPath &"\browseroutput"
$hFilehandle = FileOpen($sFileName, $FO_APPEND)
Global $sData = FileRead("C:\mscript\browseroutput.txt")    ; Read the RSS File you will need to change the path to match the location on your PC
$sRemoteLocalPath = "c:\TNI\"
$LocalFile = "browser.bat"
Local $testing = Run('D:\Downloads\PSTools\PsExec.exe -nobanner \\' & $line & ' "' & $sRemoteLocalPath & $LocalFile & '"', '', @SW_SHOWDEFAULT)
ConsoleWrite("Browser :" & $testing)
Do
    Sleep(100)
Until @error ; error occurs when command has finished

$sOutput = StringStripWS($sOutput, $STR_STRIPALL) ; remove all @cr and spaces from output
FileWrite($hFilehandle, @CRLF & "Name="&$line& ' ' & $sOutput & @CRLF)
Next
FileClose($file)

You're not using FileOpen properly. It returns a handle to the file that you write and read with.

Take a close look at the examples in the HelpFile...

Yes !

Note from The Help : "Do not mix filehandles and filenames, i.e., don't FileOpen() a file and then use a filename in this function. Use either filehandles or filenames in your routines, not both!"

A proper variable declaration could also not do any harm . Place the following statement at the beginning of the script :

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 6 -w 7

or at least use :

Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Global and Local declarations within loops are not recommended.
