Can this be done?

[Fitzy]

Hey guys, im new to autoit and i have a situation and was wondering if an autoit script can be created to solve a problem...

I work at an organisation where there are two separate networks, Network 1 and Network 2. We have a few users who use both networks with no worries, however, to help with security, everyones password on Network 1 expires after 40 days, and for most people its not a worry. But the users who use both networks must keep both network passwords in sync (the same), but this means after changing their password on their Network 1 machine, they have to walk around and find a computer on Network 2 and change it so they are the same again.

My question is, can a file be made that can run and access AD on Network 2 from Network 1 so users can change their password from there own computers? So something that asks them for user name, their old password, and a new one?

Hope that makes some sense

Hi,

if you can do it manually you should be able to automate this process via Autoit.

does anyone have any ideas on what the script should look like?

what i guess you'll need is

mousemove

sleep

send

mouseclick

here's how each thing works

mousemove (x, y, speed) ;minimum speed is 1, maximum is 100. 0 teleports the mouse

sleep (time in milliseconds) ;the code pauses for a given amount of time in milliseconds

send ("keys") ;imitates keyboard

mouseclick ("button") ;imitates mouse clicks. you can use "left" "right" "middle" buttons and probably more i don't know about

with that you do what you'd do manually.

mousemove (x, y);bring mouse to file
mouseclick ("left")
mouseclick ("left");doubleclick
sleep ("5000");wait for 5 seconds till the file opens
send ("blah blah blah");hits blah keys 3 times

and so on.

everything after the ; is comments.
