fcjoe Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have a vbscript that I want to convert to an AutoIt script that sets the password for the specified local account. Here is the vb script: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") strComputer = WshNetwork.ComputerName strPSWD = "password" Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/jdoe,user") If Err.Number = 0 Then objUser.SetPassword strPSWD objUser.SetInfo End If ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the AutoIt Script: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- $Password = "password" $objUser = ObjGet("WinNT://" & @ComputerName & "/jdoe,user") If @error = 0 Then $objUser.SetPassword $Password $objUser.SetInfo EndIf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The vbscript works fine but I get an error with the AutoIt script. The error is with the line "$objUser.SetPassword $Password". The error message is "The requested action with this object has failed" Anyone know what the problem is?

It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

fcjoe Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 I tried different things and "$objUser.SetPassword($Password)" worked.I wish there was more documentation on the correct syntax with Objects.Thanks,JoeTry $objUser.SetPassword = $PasswordDale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
