Vista Tutorial - How to get the Local Machine Name

How to get the Local Machine Name of the Client.

If it is the WMI script which can help, then i am not able to create an object for the WScript.Network Activex control.

Is there any other way to get the client machine name using the vbcscript or the javascript. The wmi script can create object and get the machine name using the .vbs file.

Can any one say me how to get the client machine name

The easiest method to retrieve the NetBIOS name of the local computer in
VBScript would be to use the wshNetwork object. For example:
=========
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName

set oWshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wscript.echo oWshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ComputerName%")

I am actually using this vb script as

<script language = "vbscript">

set oWshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wscript.echo oWshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ComputerName%")

</script>

The moment this script gets executed at the client browser, an object should be created to Wscript.Shell but i am getting the same error

" ActiveX Component Cant create object: 'Wscript.Shell' "

There Must be a way !!

How can i get the computer machine name from system registry?

is not available, as that belongs to the WSH (cscript/wscript) scripting
engines.
