Environment variables on remote computer
in [VbScript]
|
From: mcmallar on 11 Jan 2007 08:05 Greetings. I have a specific problem, which I cannot find solution to. I need to find logon server, on which computers in my domain authenticated. I tried to solve this with WMI: Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkLoginProfile") WScript.Echo "LogonServer: " & objItem.LogonServer The response is \\*. I used Google and find out, that this means the computer can logon to any domain controller. I need actual name of the server, on which computer is authenticated. If you type SET in CMD window it echoes %LOGONSERVER% variable. How can I get the value of this variable on remote computer. Any help really appreciated.

From: Al Dunbar [MS-MVP] on 11 Jan 2007 23:43 I understand that domain member workstations communicate with the domain controllers, however, I do not believe that the process is completely equivalent to the authentication that takes place when a user logs in. For one thing, security group membership cannot be used equivalently for computers as for users. Consider the following sequence of events: - Workstation starts up, and interacts with DC001. - DC001 is inaccessible due to a short network outage. - user U1 logs in and authenticates against DC002. - DC001 comes back online - user U1 logs out - DC001 is decommissioned and removed permanently from the network. - user U2 attempts to logon. at this point, what would be the point of the workstation having any knowledge of a computer that no longer exists in the domain? Would it make any sense for the lack of that particular DC to have any effect on what happens on the workstation now? /Al "mcmallar" <mcmallar.2k9vlq(a)mail.codecomments.com> wrote in message news:mcmallar.2k9vlq(a)mail.codecomments.com... > > Greetings. > > I have a specific problem, which I cannot find solution to.
