Finding Hostname Through VBScript
Hi,

I think this is a simple one.

I'm using a WSHShell and I would like to know what command I can put into my .vbs file to find the hostname of the computer I am working on.

Please can anyone help?

Thank you.

Phil.

Thanks Doug.

I've searched Google high and low and can't find it. I reckon if I leave it a week or so and try again I'll be a little more prosperous.

I'm thinking it might not be as simple as a single line and that I might have to use ping -a localhost and use the output or something like that. If of course that is possible.

Thanks for the reply Doug. I hope you have great Christmas and New Year.

Phil.

Try looking for using windows automation, wmi, adsi, stuff like that. I know you can refer to Active Directory information from asp code. For example, the Snitz asp forums support using the windows login user information directly for a user.

The whole script! (I forgot I was looking at .vbs and not .asp)
Code:
	Option Explicit

	Dim WSHShell
	Dim objNTInfo
	Dim GetComputerName

	Set objNTInfo = CreateObject("WinNTSystemInfo")
	GetComputerName = lcase(objNTInfo.ComputerName)

	Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
	WSHShell.Popup(GetComputerName)
	
	WScript.Quit
