httprequest return value

I've got a question about the return value of httprequest. I'm running the command: httprequest>http:\\client_machine:6666\D:\macro\script.scp,,GET,,client_result which will run script.scp on client_machine - if script.scp works correctly, its MACRO_RESULT is set to PASS So - after running HTTP requ...

msnet - different accounts

So - my machine has macro scheduler and msnet installed. It runs a series of scripts - and one of the steps is that it creates a new user account on the machine, and sets the machine to automatically log into the new user account. However, once it does, I can no longer run anything using msnet, with...

msnet installation

What is the current version of msnet? I currently have 1.01. I ask because installing mine is behaving strangely - so if there isn't a new installation tool for it, perhaps there should be? If I have a version of Macro Scheduler 11 installed, and I try to run ServerSetup.exe for get msnet working, t...

When I first tried installing msnet with 12.1.2, I couldn't get it working - unless I went back and installed Macro Scheduler 11 first. So - on a Win7 machine, I've installed Macro Scheduler 11.1.10, and msnet weems to work fine. I've then upgraded to Macro Scheduler 12.1.2. msnet still works. If I ...

So I've spent awhile today playing around with installing msnet - I've completely disabled the firewalls; I tried tweaking IE security settings; none of those seemed to make a difference. It looks like when I install msnet, its not actually opening a port on the machine. When I run an install with p...

I've now tried using 127.0.0.1, localhost, the machine name, and the ip address, to no avail. I've also tried changing the port to several different numbers and compleetely disabled the firewalls, but still just getting protocol error... It might be worth mentioning that this machine is Windows 2008...

Hey Marcus, You may have a bug in msnet, or maybe I'm just confused? If I install macro scheduler and msnet on machines A and B and C, and then write a script on machine C - I then just need to copy it to somewhere on machines A + B (D:\macro) and I can run it using the commands: msnet client_A 6666...

Hey Marcus - thanks - that works, but.. is there a way to use httprequest to point to a script at a specific location, instead of only scripts that macro scheduler "knows"? My scripts are all saved on a second partition, and the script runs ghost to switch between several different OSes. So I'd have...

Hey Marcus - thanks, but now I have another question. My scripts need to pass variables as well - doing that with msnet is easy enough: run>msnet client 6666 D:\macro\main.scp /variable1=X /variable2=Y However I can't figure out how to do that with HTTPRequest let>postdata=variable1=X&variable2=Y HT...

Msnet, RP_RESULT

So I have a number of scripts on one machine, all called with the macro command from a main script: macro>D:\script1.scp In script1.scp, I set MACRO_RESULT=TRUE or FALSE depending on how it went, so then in main I can look at %MACRO_RESULT% and react accordingly, and that all works fine. So - I want...

Realized that maybe a code sample could help further explain what I'm seeing. The default user is Test with password test1, and it is using control userpasswords2 I have already set the machine up to log into this account using that password on boot. I've just added a new user, dTest with password d...

New User Account

So I have a machine with an account with a password, and its set to auto-login to that account. I'm working on a script that does a number of things, including creating a new account that I would then like to be able to log into by default. Normally for this I use the command: control userpasswords2...
