I haven't done something like this for a while, back in the day I did this with ScriptIt. But with VBscript or PowerShell it shouldn't be that difficult. My guess is that it's losing focus of the window after the carriage return. So your method will need to identify the window and the password field.
Take a look at this and see if it helps. http://csharpening.net/?p=1008 Christopher Bodnar Enterprise Architect I, Corporate Office of Technology:Enterprise Architecture and Engineering Services Tel 610-807-6459 3900 Burgess Place, Bethlehem, PA 18017 [email protected] The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America www.guardianlife.com From: David Lum <[email protected]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Date: 04/17/2013 04:25 PM Subject: Can you do this with .CMD? Use a batch file to launch an application and then send two carriage returns to this app? I can do one, but not two. Running the program is asks for username (hitting ENTER it uses a default, which is desired), then when you hit <CR> it asks for a password. My batch file looks like this: programtorun < c:\windows\temp\answerfile.txt Answerfile.txt contains <carriage return> Password <carriage return> The app runs but sits and waits for the password, so it’s only processesing the first <CR>. Surely this is a simple one? Some pipe command? Maybe I should get out my old DOS 5.0 book… Please, no PoSh because I have tons of XP machines that need to run this… David Lum Sr. Systems Engineer // NWEATM Office 503.548.5229 // Cell (voice/text) 503.267.9764 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
