How to get the machine name from command.com

[it2hill]

Good day,

I need to be able to get the machine name from a command line. I found a post from the NT forum. It recomended ipconfig. However it does not give me the machine name as it is shown when I get the prop's of my computer from desktop.

Output of IP config (numbers changed)

C:\>ipconfig

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : mycompany.com
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 111.11.111.111
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 111.111.111.1
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 111.11.111.1

Value when I RC on my computer
Full Computer Name: my_name.mycompany.com

How can I capture my_name.mycompany.com

Thanks,

Shane

Just add /all after the ipconfig command so it would look like this: c:\ipconfig /all
