Having trouble obtaining domain name please help
OK I was kinda think along the same lines found that registry yesterday
searching for my domian name.
Aslo I found that buy using the Find Computer tool that if you search for
your localmachinename you can select properties and it tells everything
about you machine example, WorkGroup, Curent UserName, and Even the Current
Domain your logged into. I was wondering if there is a way to pull the
information from the Find tool App.Also this but I want it to be transparent
to the user. I have a function from a Bill James who wrote the function and
a Walter Zackery who helps test and tweek the code to detect what version of
windows was on a machine. Here is the function
Function WinVer
WinVer = Replace(Split(WScript.GetObject("about:blank")._
parentWindow.navigator.appVersion,";")(2),")","")
End Function
Im not clear on what the
{ Replace(Split(WScript.GetObject("about:blank"). }
does other than it creates an object and store the info in WinVer and that
it creates the object from the
{ _parentWindow.navigator.app }
and I guess it reads the Version field but not sure what
{ ,";")(2),","") }
exactly means
also not sure exactly how they came up with the
_parentWindow.navigator.app } (possiably
Visual Basic)and how to apply that
to the Find Computer app and pull the infomation. If you could give me some
insight or resources to reasearch this would be a great help
