Hello ! \:D

Id like to list in a text file all user having power user rights

the command to use in the shell is that one

net localgroup " utilisateurs avec pouvoir" >

i imagine will be something like shell "net localgroup 'utilisateurs avec pouvoirs' > pouvoir.txt"

Thansk for your advices and tricks ;\)

Redirection requires using the cmd shell. Something like:

 Code:
shell '%comspec% /c net localgroup "utilisateurs avec pouvoirs" > pouvoir.txt'

If you later plan on parsing the output file with Kix, you might want to look at WshPipe(), which runs a command and collects the output into a Kix variable.

The version posted here combines STDOUT and STDERR output streams, just as you'd see on the screeen. I have a modified version on my web site that returns a two element array - one for STDOUT and one for STDERR - making things a bit easier to process.

Either UDF eliminates the SHELL command and the need to open/read/parse the data in the file you collected. Same command syntax, but without the final redirection.

Hello !

Thanks for your answer but the syntax doesn't seem to be correct

i think the part in red is the cause of the problem

Shell '%comspec% /c net localgroup "utilisateurs avec pouvoirs" > pouvoir.txt'

[b][/b]

Thanks a lot for your new advices !

I just tested that line, works fine for me. Must be an error somewhere else in your script?

 Code:
Shell '%comspec% /c net localgroup "administrators" > users.txt'


Also, I think it gives an error if the group doesnt exist, so maybe thats a problem?

Thanks for your answer !

Yes afer checking more it runs fine just i was surprised to see no information on the shell

I have 50 users in my network and i would like it wrote in the same file

Could you explain to me how i can read a file and write only the information if the user has not been connected before ?

Thanks a lot for your advices !

That's a little bit more complicated, but certainly possible. Here is one method. It writes to a central .INI file. Just change the first 2 lines to the location you want the central file to be, and what group you want to check for. It also doesnt run the group check if they are already in the central file for that group. Good luck!

-Shane

 Code:
$collectionfile = @ScriptDir+"\users.ini"
$grouptocheckfor = "ADMINISTRATORS"

if ReadProfileString($collectionfile,$grouptocheckfor,@UserID)=""
   if ReadProfileString($collectionfile,"Non-"+$grouptocheckfor,@UserID)=""
      Shell '%comspec% /c net localgroup '+$grouptocheckfor+' > %temp%\users.txt'
      $groupinfo = ReadFile("%temp%\users.txt")
      for each $line in $groupinfo
         if instr($line,@UserID)
            $null = WriteProfileString($collectionfile,$grouptocheckfor,@UserID,@WkSta)
         endif
      next
      if readprofilestring($collectionfile,$grouptocheckfor,@UserID)=""
         $null = WriteProfileString($collectionfile,"Non-"+$grouptocheckfor,@UserID,@WkSta)
      endif
   endif
endif

Function ReadFile($file)
	Dim $lf, $f, $_, $t
	$lf=chr(10)
	$f=freefilehandle
	$_=open($f,$file)
		if @error   exit @error   endif
		do $t=$t+$lf+readline($f) until @error
		$_=close($f)
	$ReadFile=split(substr($t,2),$lf)
EndFunction

It should already be writing the Username and Computername to the central INI file via this these lines...
 Code:
$null = WriteProfileString($collectionfile,$grouptocheckfor,@UserID,@WkSta)
$null = WriteProfileString($collectionfile,"Non-"+$grouptocheckfor,@UserID,@WkSta)

Assuming that you're talking about the code that I posted anyways.

But if for whatever reason you want to add to the temp text file, you can always use the WriteLine() right after it is created from the command prompt.
 Code:
Shell '%comspec% /c net localgroup '+$grouptocheckfor+' > "%temp%\users.txt"'
$fh = FreeFileHandle()
If Open($fh,"%temp%\users.txt",4)=0
   $null = WriteLine($fh,"USER: "+@UserID)
   $null = WriteLine($fh,"COMPUTER: "+@WkSta)
   $null = Close($fh)
EndIf

Of course doing this will ruin the rest of the code I posted that checks for the existence of the username in the file to verify their group membership, since this will put all of the members of the group into the file, and then the current username as well. This doesn't make much sense to me anymore.

I got a question...

Do you just need this list in a text file, or you going to use this list later on in your script?

you can use ADSI to query the power users group and return everything in a variable with out having to shell out and recapture the data from a command line.

T :)hanks for your answer !

The initial idea was to list all poweruser of my domain in a text file
but if you have a better idea i'm interested ! \:D

Of course the perfect solution would write only one time the name of a user
but this i can modify manually ...

Well the code i posted about 3 posts ago, will put all users into central .INI file for you, categorized according to whether or not they are a member of the specified group. All that you need to be change is the group to check for, and the location of the file you want to save the info to (the first 2 lines of the script). Did you try it?

And here is an even simpler method...I don't know why I was leaving it so complicated...

 Code:
$collectionfile = @ScriptDir+"\users.ini"
$grouptocheckfor = "Utilisateurs avec pouvoir"

if ReadProfileString($collectionfile,$grouptocheckfor,@UserID)=""
   if ReadProfileString($collectionfile,"Non-"+$grouptocheckfor,@UserID)=""
      if InGroup("\\"+@WkSta+"\"+$grouptocheckfor)
         $null = WriteProfileString($collectionfile,$grouptocheckfor,@UserID,@WkSta)
      else
         $null = WriteProfileString($collectionfile,"Non-"+$grouptocheckfor,@UserID,@WkSta)
      endif
   endif
endif
