Logging user/computer information with batch file

[jsheehan223]

I've created a script that will perform a certain action, but I need to know who is using the script.  Is there a way to log PC and USER information in a log using a batch file?  Also, is there a way to make this silent?  Please let me know!  I've seen some things that can be used like 'net session' or whoami (available in resource kit - and 'nix flavors), but where ever I look, i can't find a way to log this information.  Any help would be greately appreciate!  Thanks in advance!  Jeremy

I forgot to mention that I'm running in Windows XP environment.

Thanks!

I did some digging and found some information that I could put into the batch file. 


net session \\127.0.0.1 >> mwarestart.log

ECHO --------------------- >> mwarestart.log

It worked on my PC, but when I tried it from another PC it didn't work.  Reason is that i have a share setup on my system and was connected to it.  Is there some other command other than 'net session' that I can use to get the user ID of who is running my batch file?

I assume the other users that may be accessing the file are running Windows XP also?  If so, try adding this as your "log":

Code: [Select]

echo %0 is being run by user "%username%" on computer "%computername%" >> \\computer\share\mwarestart.log

HOLY USERNAME LOGGING BATMAN!  Works like a charm!  Thanks so much!

Glad it works.  You're welcome.
