Obtaining the server name

[collierd]

Hello

Is there a way of obtaining the server name with vbsript
In much the same way as you would use @@SERVERNAME in SQL
I need it just to tag it onto an e-mail

Thanks

Wich server name do you want ?
http server, mail server, ... ???
Be more clear about your architecture. Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)

The http server
Basically it is the server I am operating on
I want to create a piece of vbsript that I can put on a number of servers and have this e-mail the free space at 7am for analysis
This e-mail should contain the relevant server being interogated
I can do everything bar obtaining the local server name to append to the message
Hope that explains it

Damian.

If you run your script locally on each server, you can obtain computer name by reading this registry key : "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName".
Note : use "WshShell.RegRead" method to read registry.

To retrieve the Hostname of the local PC, use the ComputerName property of the Network object.

Set oNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network&quot
WScript.Echo oNetwork.ComputerName

FWIW, if your servers or Win2k or later, you may want to explore using WMI to achieve your tasks remotely, ISO, having to drop this process on each server.
