i have created a script for updating the Computer Description on a local macine but so far i can only get it do show the users username. i would be much better if i could get it to show the full name.

can any one help with this please. ive been scouring the net for about 3 hours now and am no closer to a resoloution.

here is the script that i have

Thanks in Advance


Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
UserName = Shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%UserName%")
Set objRegistry = GetObject _
   ("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters"
strValueName = "srvcomment"
strDescription = UserName
objRegistry.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, strValueName, strDescription

strName = objAccount.FullName

then use strName in your script wherever you want.
