DOS command to get the hostname from WIN 95

[jbit01]

anyone know if there is a command I can issue from the DOS prompt that will give me the machine name of a win 95 pc? I need to use it in a script.

Perhaps nbtstat -n redirected to a text file will help?

nbtstat -n > c:\myfile.txt

Without knowing exactly what you need to occur, this is my best suggestion. Good luck.

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.

you can get it part way out with find "username" system.dat

I just yanked the hostname.exe file from a win2k machine and used it in my script and it worked fine. Thanks anyway though!
