Newbie needs help (W2K)

[shdowflare]

Hello all,

I'm a complete newbie to scripting, and I'd like to learn how it will help to make my life easier at work. I've got a situation right now where I need to automate a process on a remote machine. I am sending a command via an REXEC client to an REXEC daemon on a Win2K server. The remote command has to login to a GUI-driven security dialog, then it can run its command from the CLI.

How can I populate the two fields (username/password) automatically using some type of scripting that will enter the authentication data into the GUI box?

Is this even possible? Please offer assistance if anyone knows of an easy way for a scripting newbie to accomplish such a task. Scripting examples would be very helpful!

Thanks a ton in advance!

All I can give you, is to look into SENDKEYS... This allows you to interact with a GUI among other things.

Copy the following and save it as a .vbs file, then run it.
