Guest Dan Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Hi everyone, We are looking for a way to have the server get the client PC name from the terminal session (the PC connecting thorough Remote Desktop). Can anyone help me with a WMI Filter for this? We have set up a policy so that when the user starts a new terminal session 1 of 2 things happen. They see the full desktop or they see an application that automatically loads up. This is dependant on the computer the user is calling in with from Remote Desktop. Thanks

Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: Get Terminal Client PC Name - WMI You can use the environment variable : %CLIENTNAME% Go to a DOS prompt and type SET, you will see a lot of interestering variables Good luck ThomasT "Dan" <kgh@kg.com> wrote in message news:u6oRjK9wHHA.4076@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hi everyone, > > We are looking for a way to have the server get the client PC name from > the > terminal session (the PC connecting thorough Remote Desktop).

Guest Dan Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Re: Get Terminal Client PC Name - WMI Thanks! I've looked all over Google on how to pull an enviroment variable value from a WMI Filter. I am not having any luck. Do you have any examples of how to do this?
