Guest Doomer Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 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! -- Ivan Carlos - Chief Information & Security Officer E-mail / Skype / WLM: icarlos@icarlos.net Cell.: +55 (11) 8112-0666

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 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.
