help with pspasswd


Recommended Posts

I thought this would be easy for me but something is eluding me. The following code is a very basic GUI to push out a local administrator password change to all machines on the network (assuming the current admin passwords are the same). I can easily do this on the command line, which is what I have been doing but can't seem to get this run and show the command shell with all of the output to the command. There are some consolewrites in there since I am still trouble shooting this. This is mostly for windows 2k windows xp workstations but I would like to get it to work with vista too. Any ideas?

Also just using this command on the command line won't work with some passwords like ones that include "&" symbol for some reason.

Anybody?

I did find some others that have coded full front ends for pstools but I just wanted to do this one simple task and have the output go to a regular command line window so the formating of the output looks normal. All of the other fronends I have found don't format the output correctly and that's not what I'm after. I would also like to figure out how to get no standard symbols to work in the passwords like "&".

I am trying to make a super simple frontend GUI for the pstools utility command "pspasswd". If you have your own computer, you can test it out on your own machine only. I am a network admin so I need to use it for an entire network. All of the pstools utilities are great by themselves but even better in an autoit GUI. So far I've been forced to use pspassword directly from the command line because my current autoit method doesn't work yet.

Any constructive ideas on getting this to work?
