Re: Find ComputerName via script as alternative to RDP?

I wrote this HTA script the other week.

http://www.wisesoft.co.uk/Scripts/ht...tion_tool.aspx

You can enter the IP Address of the computer and it returns a html report
for the computer, including the dns host name and the user logged in. It
provides quite a bit of other information which you might also find useful.

Hope this helps,

David
