This command works fine from the command line: vnci mxhc-hxt-04 /remove   It runs an uninstall program on computer mxhc-hxt-04.
I would like to automate this for a login script. The problem I am having is how to enter the computer name "strInfo" into the shell.run
I have tried playing with it and below is one example that failed.

Dim objNet, objShell
Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork")

Dim strInfo
strInfo = objNet.ComputerName
wscript.echo strinfo
set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")

objShell.Run("VNCI" & strInfo & " /Remove ", 1, TRUE)
Set objNet = Nothing

What about this:

Dim objNet, objShell
Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork")

Dim strInfo
strInfo = objNet.ComputerName
wscript.echo strinfo
set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")

objShell.Run("VNCI " & strInfo & " /Remove ", 1, TRUE)
Set objNet = Nothing

Thanks
When I try that I get the error "VBScript Compilation error: Cannoit use parentheses when calling a sub.

I also tried:

Dim objNet, objShell
'
Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork")

Dim strComputerName
strComputerName = objNet.ComputerName
wscript.echo strComputerName
set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")

strTmp = "VNC1 " & strComputerName & " /Remove, 1, TRUE"

objShell.Run strTmp
'
Set objNet = Nothing

Gives error: "The system cannot find the file specified"

OK,, I had a type-O the whole time. The following works. I had a number 1 in NVC1. It is supposed to be VNCI

Dim objNet, objShell

Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork")

Dim strComputerName
strComputerName = objNet.ComputerName
wscript.echo strComputerName
set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")

strTmp = "VNCI " & strComputerName & " /Remove, 1, TRUE"

objShell.Run strTmp

Set objNet = Nothing

Thanks
Dale
