probably nobody else would even need this.. but can anybody make me a small script.. so if 'email@msn.com' sends the text '!remote' or something like that.. it will make your msn send a request for remote assistance. allowing the person that sent the message '!remote' accept the request and control the computer.

I was at my friends house today, and I tried connecting to my home pc through remote desktop, and I had formated my home pc recently as well.. and forgot to set a static ip.. so the local ip i had fowarded on my router for the 'remote desktop' port.. was different then my home pcs ip.. and wouldn't connect.

with this, i could connect remotely, fix my ip.. and logon remote desktop.

not that i'd be using this a lot, but just in case.

This is possible if you know what command you should run to start a Remote Assistance session. Then, you can use this:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message) {
   if(Message.match(/\!remote/i)) {
      var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
      Shell.run("HERE THE COMMAND");
      return "";
   }
}

---

in a script for that computer. I can take a look for the exact command to run, instead some other member beats me.

also need to add the email.

if(Message.match(/\!remote/i)) && (whatever.match(email@msn.com) {

what's the code for that? and did you happen to figure out the command to make it request remote assistance?

Its not easy to just send a remote assistance request. However you can send an invitiation file to the contact and they can open it

Example of RAInvitiation.msrcincident

code:

---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Unicode" ?>
    <UPLOADINFO TYPE="Escalated">
        <UPLOADDATA USERNAME="PCUSERNAME" RCTICKET="65538,1,IP ADDRESS:3389;ComputerName:3389,*,sewwXqwhTPaaSAsaIe60751ztt1YCK+Ccoa3cdHpMAA=,*,*,shbficiuYjk9cuvQVxFKhXPgtNk=" RCTICKETENCRYPTED="0" DtStart="1157306553" DtLength="INVITIATION TIMEOUT IN MINUTES" PassStub="PASSWORD (ENCRYPTED)" L="0" />
    </UPLOADINFO>

Alternately you can Send the keycombination of Alt+A and then R to the window. That should open the Actions menu and then send a Request for Assistance.

You should note however that this is only for the English version of WLM

For other versions, you will need to find the shortcut yourself (shouldn't be hard anyway )

How are you gonna encrypt the password so that you can put it there?

the thing is I won't be at the computer to open the file.

that was the point in the beginning.

could I make the command in this, do alt+a +r

Shell.run("HERE THE COMMAND");

No idea, you can leave it as null when sending the invitiation but as far as putting one in, I dont know the type of encryption.

you just have to send   "/assist"       to request the remote-session, which you can do by e.g. an autoresponse script. or write you´r own to send the "/assist" and to load an external "exe" programm
(you can create a script "exe" e.g. with autoit (google it) )

here is the script you can use to press the right buttons ... (script language : autoit)

the scipt is optimized for german users. you have to rename the window titles ...  (remoteunterstützung = remotesession??)

have fun with it
