11111 » How can a batch retrieve the full DNS name of the current computer? (19-Dec-06)
The full DNS name my workstation is JSI009.JSIINC.COM and it's
Common Name is JSI009.
Using standard commands, I have scripted FullDNSName.bat to retrieve the full DNS name of the current computer.
The syntax for using FullDNSName.bat is:
[call] FullDNSName Name
Where Name is a call directed environment variable that will contain the computer's full DNS name.
FullDNSName.bat contains:
@echo off
if {%1}=={} @echo Syntax: FullDNSName Name&goto :EOF
if exist "%TEMP%\FullDNSName.vbs" goto doit
@echo.Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") >"%TEMP%\FullDNSName.vbs"
@echo.strComputerDN = objSysInfo.ComputerName>>"%TEMP%\FullDNSName.vbs"
@echo.Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" ^& strComputerDN)>>"%TEMP%\FullDNSName.vbs"
@echo.Wscript.Echo objComputer.dnsHostName>>"%TEMP%\FullDNSName.vbs"
:doit
set %1=Not Found
for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('cscript //nologo "%TEMP%\FullDNSName.vbs"') do (
set %1=%%a
)
