Hello, were you able to install the agent with Autoit?
Personally, nothing happens

Code: Select all

FileCopy('\\10.72.x.y\netlogon\waptdeploy.exe', @TempDir & '\waptdeploy.exe')
local $pid = RunAs( $Username,$Domain, $Password,2,'"' &  @TempDir & '\waptdeploy.exe  --hash=62caede82fa3e2e1db67ffbf0e76d75302aa4e1958be789de2380d44e38cc279 --minversion=1.7.3.5 --wait=15"',@tem, @SW_SHOWDEFAULT)

If you repackage it like that, you might as well launch the waptagent.exe installation directly rather than launching waptdeploy.

But I'd be interested to know what use case you're trying to solve with this method? Is it to "embed" the local admin password in your executable? If so, it's not a wise choice, because anyone can retrieve it (and the same goes for tools like CPAU or similar).

Sincerely,

Yes, I know it's bad practice, but we don't have a GPO. And this installation method is only used for one day.
Thank you.

If you still have a Samba3 OpenLDAP server in NT4 mode, Tranquil IT can help you upgrade to Samba-AD. If you're using a workgroup, it's more complex, but we also have extensive experience in domain migration/mergers to recover workgroups or consolidate domains.

In your case (no GPO), we use the following to push the agent depending on the situation:
* Antivirus software (several vendors offer the option to force the installation of an executable file)
* another inventory/deployment software already installed previously (such as the OCS client or the Fusion Inventory client)
* Administrative shares (IPC$/C$) if they are opened with psexec or equivalent (it's ugly but effective)

Sincerely,

Denis
