We're having an issue with a script, part of which we got from Officeformachelp.com a little while ago and it used to work. However it's no longer functional. It seems to work on some machines but not all with little to no rhyme or reason.
Would someone be willing to take a look at the issue?
the problem seems to be on line #2 - when it errors out, it highlights background autodiscover.
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
set background autodiscover of every exchange account to false
activate
quit
delay 2
activate
end tell
set t to ""
tell application "Keychain Access" to activate
set label to "Exchange"
set KeyKind to " "
set AcctName to " "
set ServiceName to " "
set Acctpassword to " "
set AcctComments to " "
set t to GetAcctnameServicenameAndPwrdFromPwrdItem(label, KeyKind)
set t2 to "Label: " & label & "
" & "Account name: " & text item 1 of t & "
" & "Password: " & text item 2 of t & "
" & "Service name: " & text item 3 of t & "
"
set t to DeletePwrdItemFromKeychain(label, KeyKind)
return t
on GetAcctnameServicenameAndPwrdFromPwrdItem(label, KeyKind)
set retarray to {"", "", ""}
set Qlabel to quoted form of label
set oldelim to text item delimiters
try
if KeyKind is equal to "Internet password" then
set t to do shell script "security 2>&1 find-internet-password -gl " & Qlabel & "-gA"
else
set t to do shell script "security 2>&1 find-generic-password -gl " & Qlabel & "-gA"
end if
set text item delimiters to "acct"
set tlst to every text item of t
set acct to item 2 of tlst
set text item delimiters to """
set tlst to every text item of acct
set acct to item 3 of tlst
if KeyKind is equal to "Internet password" then
set text item delimiters to "srvr"
else
set text item delimiters to "svce"
end if
set tlst to every text item of t
set svcnam to item 2 of tlst
set text item delimiters to """
set tlst to every text item of svcnam
set svcnam to item 3 of tlst
set text item delimiters to """
set tlst to every text item of t
set pw to item 2 of tlst
set retarray to {acct, pw, svcnam}
set retarray to {"", "", ""}
end try
set text item delimiters to oldelim
return retarray
end GetAcctnameServicenameAndPwrdFromPwrdItem
on DeletePwrdItemFromKeychain(label, KeyKind)
set Qlabel to quoted form of label
set retval to true
try
if KeyKind is equal to "Internet password" then
set t to do shell script "security delete-internet-password -l" & Qlabel
else
set t to do shell script "security delete-generic-password -l " & Qlabel
end if
on error
set retval to false
end try
return retval
end DeletePwrdItemFromKeychain

By any chance, do you have any other Microsoft email application installed on the same machine?

well, yeah. There is the whole suite.. some systems have lync..
Turns out it didn't like being run while Outlook was open. Once I closed it and ran, it was fine. Strangely others were able to run it with Outlook open.
