IE search computername

[clayton74]

Hello
I apologise for asking a silly question before I ask it.

I have a bit of script, and what I am trying to do is open Internet explorer and input a computername in the address bar, so I can use this as an option to search a users drive. Unfortunatley explorer.exe does not work as it is disabled by group policy, I have a bit of code that I have removed from here but all it does is RunAs.
Is it possible for me to open IE with the computername in the address bar
Thanks in advance

Dim WshSHell
Dim AssetNo

AssetNo=Inputbox ("Asset Number")

set WshSHell = createobject ("wscript.shell")
WshSHell.Run("iexplore.exe " &AssetNo&"")

How are you providing the computer name?

\\computername ?

Is explorer.exe or iexplorer.exe disabled? If IE is in the do not run list in Group Policy it won't launch unless you are logged in with an ID that does nto get that policy.

Rather than doing what you are doing, why don't you use WMI which offers a rather quick search option?

I hope you find this post helpful.
