Title: How to get the computer's name
Post by: silent1 on May 03, 2006, 11:27:06 AM

So I think I've got the batch file just about working, but I need to include the machine's name in the .evt filename.

How do I get the machine's name?


Thanks!

I figured that it was an easy answer, but I can't believe how long it took me to find it using google.

For anyone else who may not know: %COMPUTERNAME%

I, on the other hand, will forget in five minutes as I don't use that variable. ::)
