Because the machines are corporate assets, they are in a controlled environment. Formerly, our client machines all had the same corporate image and all had the .net framework installed and security settings set to allow client side .net code (delivered via our web site) to get the info it needed.
If we are reading the machine name from the machine, why would there be a data quality issue? The more info we get from the machine, the better we are able to target that machine for applications that pertain to it - patch delivery, enforcing hardware requirements, etc. Maybe I don't understand your point of view?

Why do you need this info from the client? What is the deployment scenario? Why should any user trust your applet/ActiveX control? Why isn't it spyware? -dhs Dean H.
