Username before #requireadmin

[orion156]

I can't get the loginname with @Username, when I use #requireadmin in an AutoIt-script.

In stead it shows the admin-username that I used to allow the execution.

How can I get the first/original loginname?

There is no built-in way to do it, but you could use _ProcessListProperties() to search through processes to find out who's logged onto the machine.

Dim $array

$array = _ProcessListProperties()
For $i = 1 To $array[0][0]
    If Not StringInStr($array[$i][3], "Administrator") And Not StringInStr($array[$i][3], "SYSTEM") And _
        Not StringInStr($array[$i][3], "Local Service") And Not StringInStr($array[$i][3], "Network Service") And _
        $array[$i][3] <> "" Then
        MsgBox(0,"First username logged on",$array[$i][3])
    EndIf
Next

It would also be possible to build another script that runs the "real" script and then uses CoProc.au3 or something similar to send the @Username to the "real" one.

Airwolf: In my case the #requireadmin username and loginname could be different from time to time

AdmiralAlkex: Is get an error when i use CoProc.au3. For instance when i run "Example_Golbals.au3" i get this message:

CoProc_Send_Username_to_Real_script\CoProc.au3(49,47) :

ERROR: Opt() called with illegal argument 1: "RunErrorsFatal"

$iOldRunErrorsFatal = Opt("RunErrorsFatal", 0)

Do you or anybody know what's wrong?

I have to assume I am wrong on this and I do not have a machine to test this on, but couldn't you grab @Username and set it in a variable before you declare the #requireadmin keyword?

CoProc.au3 was written for an earlier version of AutoIt. The latest version don't have "RunErrorsFatal" so comment/remove that line.

If the CoProc stuff is bothering you, you may want to read about "Command Line Parameters" in the helpfile and build one script that launches the other with @UserName as a command line parameter.

Jos explained this in a good way a couple of days ago.

#RequireAdmin is a directive not a function. Thus it is set at program start time.

Thanx

I used the command:

Run( "script2.exe " & @UserName )

in script1.au3/.exe and the command

$MyUsername = $CmdLine[1]

in script2.au3/.exe
