Javascript login script quest!

[Udir]

I am using javascript for my AD login scripts.

I can get the value of "windir" out of the environment of
%systemroot% but need to actually resolve it to either
C:\windows or C:\winnt

Is it possible to assign what would be the value of %systemroot% to a variable to use?

Hello Udir,

You can get it like this.
[tt]
var WshShell=new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var sysroot=WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%systemroot%");
[/tt]
Note also that %systemroot% is defined for winnt-series only. Sometimes %windir% should be used.

tsuji,

i tried
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function getUser()
{
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var sysroot = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentString("%systemroot%");
alert("wshshell is "+ WshShell + "and sysroot is " + sysroot);
}
</script>

and called with a button but it doesn't work...
any help?

This isn't web browser JS, it's WSH scripting.

That worked great! Thanks! All my systems are winnt based, so it shouldn't be a problem.
