Show logonserver

[MEEL]

Hi!
I want to remotely get the name of the logonserver for the logged on user.
The name is stored under HKCU\Volatile Environment\Logonserver and it works fine to get the value of the key on the local machine but not remote. It works fine with other registerkeys but not "Volatile Environment"

What can I do?

This is the code I used


const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002


strComputer = "PC-001"
Set StdOut = WScript.StdOut

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv&quot


strKeyPath = "Volatile Environment"
strValueName = "LOGONSERVER"
oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
StdOut.WriteLine "Current Logonserver: " & dwValue

Yes, this works on the local machine. But how do I get the "logonserver" for another PC.

so you want to run a script locally on your machine which connects to a users machine or should i say uses DCOM to run a command on the users machine and then display it to you?

i skipped the section in my book on wmi security!!

whats wrong with auditing this information at logon with a logon script?

or perhaps querying the DC's to find out which one has the most recent .lastlogin value.

i am sorry but at the moment i cannot answer your specific question and i am sure you have thought of the above mentioned possibilities.

best of luck
