No one has kept track of user to workstation name and now I have to figure out a way to get it. We have many different reasons why we need this but I would like to know the best way to capture this when users logon to the network.
A simple Set command will display what I am looking for but I would like to know the best way to capture this info and pipe it to file on a network share. Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Add this to your login scripts:
echo %computername%,%username%,
echo %computername%,%username%,
and give the users some write tights to the \\server\share share and info directory under it... or wherever you want to put it.

I understand that this is under the DOS heading, but I think you might find Windows Script Host would be well suited to your needs.

Poor grading Mike... Good that we all got assists, but grading as a B is not the way to get help here on EE. Especially since you elected not to participate in the solution to your problem. You gave little direction in what you wanted and we all responded the best we could. Please consider this the next time you ask for help on EE. Thanks :)

You could create a batch file that is called from some network login script. It would look something like this:
@echo off
setlocal
set networkShare=\\yournetwork
(echo --------------------)>>"%n
(echo Login time: %date% %time%)>>"%networkShare%"
(echo Username: %username%)>>"%networkShar
(echo Computername: %computername%)>>"%network
(echo --------------------)>>"%n
You could include other information. Type:
set
at the command prompt to see other information that might be useful. You'll want to adjust the networkShare environment variable to a network share and directory that is available to all users.
Good Luck,
Steve
