Hello all,

I am hoping that perhaps someone can help me out.

I work for a fairly large banking firm, that is growing fairly
quickly, and I need to find a solution for my desktops.

I am running Windows Server 2003 SP1, with all of my workstations
running Windows XP SP1.
Is there an easy way for a user to find his/her workstation name
without having to walk them thru the standard, My Computer ->
Properties -> Computer Name.
Someone had told me that there is a Group Policy that would put an
Icon or something in the bottom right hand corner of the taskbar for
the user to easily click on to display the system properties.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Roger
 
You could try this VBS code:
Dim netshl
Set netshl = createobject("wscript.network")
msgbox "The computer name is: " & netshl.computername
Set netshl=Nothing
wscript.quit
You may be able to copy a shortcut or code out the desktop with GP or logon
scripts.
