computer name

[Glenn]

Is there a way to get the name of the computer that is viewing a web page to
show up?

Basically I am collecting data on my machines. I have the serial number on
the side of them, and a list of the computers. I'd like to be able to go to
the machine, log on and launch internet browser and have a page come up that
shows the name of my computer. I have set up a roaming profile so that it
will go right to the page that I want to have this info on so that I can
quickly write it down.

I'd also like to have other information such as the size of the hard drive,
the type of processor, and how much ram there is show up also.

Is any of this possible? If so, how?

Thanks!

None of that info is transmitted with a Request, only the IP address of the
client machine. You would either have to ask for it, or write an ActiveX
control or Java Applet to get it from the client.

I have a vb script that will call up the PC name, username, and domain name.
You could put this script on the webpage. Would this help?

Yes that does sound helpful.

Ever try to run it on a web page? You might be surpriesed. The security
context of web browsers is much tighter than the security context of your
Operating System, when you or it are running a script.
