Simple script question

[heathy]

I'm making a small domain removal tool, nothing complicated.

My first simple script worked just fine. If I was in the the domain it would remove my machine and give me the appropriate message. If I wasn't then it would tell me it would fail.

#include <Constants.au3>
FileInstall("C:\netdom.exe", @SystemDir & "\netdom.exe")
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "netdom REMOVE " & @ComputerName, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    If $line = "The command completed successfully." then MsgBox(0, "Progress", $line & " Click to Reboot")
    If $line <> "The command completed successfully." Then MsgBox(0, "Progress", "Process failed Remove from domain manually")
Wend
Exit

So then I decided to try and make it a little more complex by trying to have the machine reboot after someone click the OK button after removal. The problem with this script is that it removes the machine from the domain but never puts up a MSG box stating anything. If I run it after the machine is out of the domain the second message box does show up.

So I guess my issue is why isn't the message box showing up when it successfully removes itself from the domain.

#include <Constants.au3>
FileInstall("C:\netdom.exe", @SystemDir & "\netdom.exe")
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "netdom REMOVE " & @ComputerName, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    If $line = "The command completed successfully." then 
        MsgBox(0, "Progress", $line & " Click to Reboot")
        Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "shutdown -r -t 1")
        endif
    If $line <> "The command completed successfully." Then 
        MsgBox(0, "Progress", "Process failed Remove from domain manually")
        exit
    endif
Wend
Exit

Any help would be appreciated

TIA

find out what it says from the console read-

#include <Constants.au3>
FileInstall("C:\netdom.exe", @SystemDir & "\netdom.exe")
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "netdom REMOVE " & @ComputerName, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    MsgBox(0,"Line read",$line)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    If $line = "The command completed successfully." then 
        MsgBox(0, "Progress", $line & " Click to Reboot")
        Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "shutdown -r -t 1")
        endif
    If $line <> "The command completed successfully." Then 
        MsgBox(0, "Progress", "Process failed Remove from domain manually")
        exit
    endif
Wend
Exit

see what the message box says

Yeah I had done that. That's how I got the "The command completed successfully." originally. However it does appear that there are extra things in the output that don't show in the console. I change my code with

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)
Wend

It came up with 2 boxes. So to solve my issue I changed "$line = StdoutRead($foo)" to $line = StdoutRead($foo,35) so it will only read the first 35 characters, which is "The command completed successfully." With that addition my script now works like I want it.

If anyone cares, this is the code. Nothing special.

#include <Constants.au3>
FileInstall("C:\netdom.exe", @SystemDir & "\netdom.exe")
$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "netdom REMOVE " & @ComputerName, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo, 35)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    If $line = "The command completed successfully." then 
        MsgBox(0, "Progress", $line & " Click to Reboot")
        Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & "shutdown -r -t 1")
        endif
    If $line <> "The command completed successfully." Then 
        MsgBox(0, "Progress", "Process failed Remove from domain manually")
        exit
    endif
Wend
Exit
