List,

I created a utility that some may find useful. Thanks to Matt for
letting me host it on his site.

iew/gid,41/Itemid,28/
<http://www.mattreinfeldt.com/site/component/option,com_docman/task,cat_
view/gid,41/Itemid,28/> 

It returns workstation information from within the Windows User Tool.
The utility and workflow demonstrate:

- How to get an executable (or any file) to a user's temp folder.
- How to obtain the user's environment variables.
- How to run an executable and capture its output.
- How to parse the output of an executable.

The following information is returned and made available to your
workflow:

Host Name
DNS Host Name
IP Address
MAC Address
NIC Name
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Servers
User Name
Temp Folder
CompSpec
DNS Domain Name
Login Server
Excel Path
Outlook Path
Word Path
IE Path
Dameware Path


VB.Net 2003 (source included)
Tested with ARS 6.3 and 7.0.

BTW, there is a free open-source IDE for VB.Net and C# programming -
SharpDevelop http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/
<http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/> .  I tested the .Net code
with SharpDevelop version 2.1.0.2376 RC1 and it compiled and ran without
having to change anything. This may be useful if you don't have Visual
Studio.
