Using @LogonServer macro in a Run() statement

[Pete Zerger]

I want users to run a script, based on their authenticating domain controller. I have copies of a target script in NETLOGON and has replicated to all DCs. Here's the script

;Hide any fatal error messages

Opt("RunErrorsFatal", 0)

;Call this vbscript from netlogon on the authenticating DC

Run("@LogonServer\netlogon\localscript.vbs ScriptArgHere")

The error I get says "Unable to execute external program". I know I've seen this work in the past, but cannot get the syntax right. Any thoughts on how to make this work?

Welcom to AutoIt

You are using @LogonServer between quotes

Try this:

Run('"' & @LogonServer & '\netlogon\localscript.vbs ScriptArgHere"', @WorkingDir)

It gives me the same error, but when I print the string to the screen (see below), the string looks correct. It gives me "\\myauthdc\netlogon\localscript.vbs ScriptArgHere". If I throw that string in a Run box, it works like a champ. Not sure why it wont fly from my AutoIT script.

$localscript = '"' & @LogonServer & '\netlogon\localscript.vbs ScriptArgHere"'

$var = @LogonServer

MsgBox ( 4096, "Testing", $localscript)

I forgot you're trying to run a vbs script.

you can try as th.meger suggested but don't forget to add the following line at the begging of your script

#include <Process.au3>

Or

try

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @LogonServer & '\netlogon\localscript.vbs ScriptArgHere"', @WorkingDir)

Danny, that last suggestion works like a champ. Thanks very much to all.
