No One Home

[houghl]

Im trying to send an autoit install script to machines where noone is logged in and the script just sits there until you log on then it kicks off im using beyondexec to run the command i guess its waiting because im sending the winwaitactive func in my script and i guess the window never becomes active until you login

any ideas

Only services can run on machines where noone is logged on.

Install your script/exe with sc.exe and srvany.exe from the ressource kit.

srvany.txt

Took me 1/2 an hour to find it srvany.exe:

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools - rktools.exe

Hmm cant seem to get it to work w/ GUI's even tho I set the Log On As -> Local System Account -> Allow service to interact with desktop. I can see with the task manager that the app my script is running but no GUI is produced.

U can't run a gui ass a service, but U can run a gui through a service.
