I worked til 2AM last night installing QM2 on all the computers at school. The first day at school for students begins on Monday so I have a lot to do there today. The administration of the network takes a LOT of time. That's why I'm trying to use QM to automate and speed up a number of tasks. I want to be able to do everything from my PC on the LAN like:
- transferring files and folders to all other computers on LAN
- installing new programs
- turning on all the VNC servers on the other computers
- etc....
Obviously I need a listenning port on each computer so that I can remotely run programs or macros inside each PC. I am a beginner with servers and clients. I have found a free program called Poweroff which I have running on all PCs which listens on a port. With that program I can remotely run any EXE or BAT file separately on every PC. I plan to use a BAT file to run locally saved QM2 macros. That is my plan. Probably not the best way. But I hope it will work.
I have written 20 long macros in V1.3 which have worked quite well. They are all now fully converted. But last night I got really stuck on 2 simple problems.
The following works well on V1.3
run \\Kiwi\C
"password"
Y
But the same does not work on V2.09
run "\\Kiwi\C"
key "password"
key Y
When the network password window opens, the macro still shows red, but just gets stuck. The password is not typed in by QM2. I have to type it in myself, and then the macro goes further. How do I get around this.
The second problem:
I have a folder with 13 shortcuts to open VNC viewers for all 13 computers. With V1.3 I opened them with the following:
spe 500
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\banan.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Jordbær.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Morell.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Pære.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Drue.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Fersken.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Bjørnebær.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Sitron.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Eple.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Lime.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Kiwi.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Presterom.vnc
run c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Admin.vnc
These opened quickly as expected with 500 ms between each
Why does the following on V2.09 run SO SLOW? It takes around 8 seconds between each window!!! It took just as long when I tried it on another PC.
spe 500
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\banan.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Jordbær.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Morell.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Pære.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Drue.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Fersken.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Bjørnebær.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Sitron.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Eple.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Lime.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Kiwi.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Presterom.vnc"
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\Admin.vnc"
0.1
I was forced to write the following instead which works 100 times faster!!
run "c:\windows\Skrivebord\vnc\"
key Ca
key Y
Grateful for help today if possible.
