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
 
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

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?

Thanks

I use vbscript to extract that, I don't use WMI

Create an text file and name it like : GetClientMachine.vbs and paste these
2 lines:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WScript.Echo WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%CLIENTNAME%")

Save it and double click on it to execute
