Re: WScript from ASP

Try this--Remember it runs locally on the server so it will give you the web
server's netbios name not the client's.

I've used < and > in case the list server gets confused

<%@ language="vbscript" %>
<%
Option explicit
Response.buffer=true
Response.expires=-1440
%>
<%
Dim WSHShell
Dim CompName

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
 CompName = WSHShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%COMPUTERNAME%")

 Response.Write "The computer name is " & CompName
%>
