WSH..

How to make the Domain Name Come Out ?
I'm Connecting to the NetWork, But the The WshNetwork.UserDomain seems Nothing ,
Why ?

var WshNetwork = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network");
var oDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives();
var oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections();
WScript.Echo("Domain = " + WshNetwork.UserDomain);
WScript.Echo("Computer Name = " + WshNetwork.ComputerName);
WScript.Echo("User Name = " + WshNetwork.UserName);
WScript.Echo();
WScript.Echo("Network drive mappings:");
for(i=0; i<oDrives.Count(); i+=2){
WScript.Echo("Drive " + oDrives.Item(i) + " = " + oDrives.Item(i+1));
}
WScript.Echo();
WScript.Echo("Network printer mappings:");
for(i=0; i<oPrinters.Count(); i+=2){
WScript.Echo("Port " + oPrinters.Item(i) + " = " + oPrinters.Item(i+1));
}

My prog is saved as .js and saved on the desktop. I can get your codes to work.

I just tested this:

message="";
var WshNetwork = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network");
var oDrives = WshNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives();
var oPrinters = WshNetwork.EnumPrinterConnections();
message+="Domain = " + WshNetwork.UserDomain;
message+="\nComputer Name = " + WshNetwork.ComputerName;
message+="\nUser Name = " + WshNetwork.UserName;
message+="\n";
message+="\nNetwork drive mappings:";
for(i=0; i<oDrives.Count(); i+=2){
message+="\nDrive " + oDrives.Item(i) + " = " + oDrives.Item(i+1);
}
message+="\n";
message+="\nNetwork printer mappings:";
for(i=0; i<oPrinters.Count(); i+=2){
message+="\nPort " + oPrinters.Item(i) + " = " + oPrinters.Item(i+1);
}
WScript.Echo(message)

and got this prompt:
---------------------------
Windows Script Host
---------------------------
Domain = HOMEWORKER
Computer Name = HOMEWORKER
User Name = Zvonko

Network drive mappings:

Network printer mappings:
Port LPT1: = EPSON Stylus C70 Series
---------------------------
OK

Hi zenko, the point is yours definitely. Sorry Typo Error, It should be like this "I can't get your codes to work", Anyhow U have responsed to it with great speed.

This what I get ...

Domain =
Computer Name = HCSWAN
User Name = HCSWAN

Network drive mappings:

Network printer mappings:
Port LPT1:=Acrobat PDFWriter
Port C:\WIndows\All Users\Desktop\*.pdf=Acrobat Distiller
Port\\BaseDomino\4000it = HP LaserJet 4000 Series WKL 6

... Still The Domain is Not There.
... Should there be some setting ?

Pls Help.

Thanx

This is not a scripting problem.

You simply did not set a Domain name in your network settings.

You did not state which OS version you use, but anyway, look into TCPIP settings for DNS settings. There is a field Domain name. If this field is empty, then you can not read the value.

I'm not sure what U meant since we are all connected the server. OS = 98
