Environment variable or similar to "description" field

[Guest Doomer]

I wish to control bia logon script the field "description" on my

workstations, but I not found an environment variable or something to

read that from the dos prompt.

 

How can I do that?

 

Actually I'm creating a new variable with my value needed, with this way

I can inform "if" and "if not" commands to customise my logon script. Is

is possible to do that using "description" field? Thanks a lot!

You probably can but it depends where this "description" field is.

Where exactly did you enter this information?

I'm talking about "computer description" field, you can set it up in

system window with the computer name and domain

 

Thanks

Re: Environment variable or similar to "description" field

 

You can't do this in DOS (which is a legacy 16-bit operating

system introduced some 30 years ago) but you can do it under

the Windows Command Prompt like so:

 

@echo off

for /f "tokens=3*" %%a in ('net config server ^| find /i "Server Comment"')

do set Desc=%%a %%b

 

This will work for servers and for workstations.

Re: Environment variable or similar to "description" field

 

Thanks a lot, I'm trying to understand but in all cases I receive "%%a

was unexpected at this time." error

 

I understood that I can set

"NET CONFIG SERVER /Srvcomment:"MyCommentText""

via logon script, but I'm not finding a way to read that value via prist

prompt or script logon, all tries result the same error above

 

Can u help me?

 

Thanks again

Re: Environment variable or similar to "description" field

 

Your newsreader probably wrapped the lines of my batch

file. It consists of exactly two lines, hence you must unwrap

line #2!
