The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Reading environment variables from within a intranet page.

Hi ..

I'm facing an issue with a script i run on nightly basis, one of the things this script depends on is a list of machine id's (hostname) and user-id's.
At this moment people are asked to fill out those info but to my regret people are making mistakes causing me to manually check and correct each single entry.

I have a screen with two boxes , first one states :

Fill out your userid which you use to logon to the domain :

Second one states :

Please enter thename of the machine you want to submit :

This list is than processed and there is a specific action that has to be taken on those machines.
If someone spells out the machine name incorrect i have a problem since this machine will not be found.

Now has each machine two environment settings that i would like to use :

USERNAME=xxxxxxx and COMPUTERNAME=xxxxxxxx

It would be nice if i could display a button that says , if this is the machine you want to submit press submit,
if not press edit to edit the info and submit the changes.

I do need a working solution , i don't have any use for hints like  ah just install perl , tweak this , rearrange that ,
 install such and such :-)

This is an intranet environment with 700 users worldwide and i cannot rebuild the complete system.
It would be nice if there was a java applet so that all code can be run from the client side ..

But anyway thankfull for a possible solution i'll sit back and wait :-) (with my feet on my desk ... <vbg>)

PS did some research on the web but there was no useable solution to my problem since we have a standard IIS server.
so to my knowledge (i am not an in*net admin, so don't  hit me) we do not run perl or any of such extensions that would
make such things a lot easier i guess ..
