Systemroot and systemdrive of a remote machine

[Ross1811]

Hello everyone,

Just a quick and easy one how do you get the %systemdrive% and %systemroot% of a remote computer. I need to put them together too such as C:\windows and put that into a variable,

Thanks,
Ross

Try using the following method:

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set dirwin = fso.GetSpecialFolder(0)
Set dirsystem = fso.GetSpecialFolder(1)
Set dirtemp = fso.GetSpecialFolder(2)

msgbox (dirwin)
msgbox (dirsystem)
msgbox (dirtemp)

This retrieves:
dirwin = The Windows folder contains files installed by the Windows operating system.

dirsystem = The System folder contains libraries, fonts, and device drivers.

dirtemp = The Temp folder is used to store temporary files. Its path is found in the TMP environment variable.
