Hello Together!

How can I get the primary Hostname of my DNS without DOS Boxes and without administrator permissions?

KR, BMeX

WMI can probably tell you that. Check the properies of the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration namespace.

Hello Everybody.

I tried with WMI, but then it gives me only the ip address. so i have to make a nslookup, where a dos box appears :-(
I tried to do an nslookup with WMI but for that i needed administrator rights? i don't know..

I know, with the command "Run" in VBS i can hide the dos box, but i have to check the return value of the command, so i have to write a file to the harddisk (nslookup ip.ip.ip.ip >C:\returnvalue.txt) and then read out. That is not what i want, becuase this should be a part of a login script.

Thanks for your help.

BR, BMeX

do a run like this:
oShell.Run "%comspec% /c nslookup ip.ip.ip.ip > c:\output.txt",0,true

Then:
read that file's contents into a variable

sText = oFSO.OpenTextFile("c:\output.txt",1).ReadAll

delete the file
parse through the sText variable to find the hostname you want.

The entire process - assuming the dns lookup goes fast - should take less than a second, even on a slow machine.
