Earlier this year (at a different company) I created a script that would run a windows dos command that would return a computer name and other information by IP address across a cooperate LAN. I was able to run this command with cfexecute, parse out the computer name and display it on the top of intranent web pages. This was of great benefit for the help desk to determine what computer users where calling about. For the life of me, my sleep deprived addled brain can not recall the dos command that did this! Can anybody help me out of my fuzz.
