Great idea!!

Cannot get it to run from website on server or client PC. I can get "cmd.exe /K \\atm04\winapp$\LanSweeper\ComputerDescriptionChange.vbs MYPCNAME" to work just fine...

Hmm....

Any idea's why?

Thanks,

Thad

probably the permissions you have to setup in IE, check the documentation, I know without this you cannot execute any of the other custom actions. Look for activeX in the docs, it shows you how.

Nifty tool, Could you be kind enough to make a script that changes the computer name ? :)

Handy little script.

Changing computer name while the computer is currently part of a domain can cause some issues it is always recommended to remove the computer from the domain, rename, put computer back on domain.

If you where to implement this I would recommend using AdminAutoLogon and RunOnceEx

Looks like a grate custom action.
I have a problem, when I try to execute the script I am getting the following error:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near '='.


Anyone have a clue as too what I am doing wrong? Brick wall

Thanks...

I get the description field popup, but after i enter the description and hit OK, the cmd window closes after a few seconds and the Computer Description doesn't get changed. I even restarted the pc that was supposed to change, and rescanned with LS.
The script is located on our netlogin share.
any ideas?
