How to get remote computer name

[pugs1501]

I am wondering how I could get the computer name/hostname of the client into a variable so  I can then put the variable into a database and do some reporting off of it. We are on DHCP and to run a report at the end of the day sometimes the DHCP addresses changes by then and we go and look at the wrong computer. Any help you can give me would be wonderful. We are on a private address range of IP's.

erm..

change to static ip, erm..

 

maybe use JS to write to a form..

var ax = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network");
document.write(ax.UserName + '<br />');
document.write(ax.ComputerName + '<br />');

 

of course your need to change the security setting on the client machines

 

or maybe a login system..

 

depends what your using it for..
