Hi all, welcome back,

It's very easy to find out the user name and the domain name of the user running a VBScript, and the computer name where it's running:

Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork") 

strInfo = "User Name is     " & objNet.UserName & vbCRLF & _
          "Computer Name is " & objNet.ComputerName & vbCRLF & _
          "Domain Name is   " & objNet.UserDomain

MsgBox strInfo

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
