COMPUTERNAME through .NET Interop

Luc_VanDyck

When the environment-variable "COMPUTERNAME" is retrieved using 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell, the warning "The server has requested to run Windows Script Host Shell Object on your client." is displayed.

If "COMPUTERNAME" is retrieved through .NET Interop, does this still issues a warning?

How does the .NET Interop code looks like, to retrieve this variable, using NAV 2009 R2?

Do you need the computername of the Service Tier or the Client?
If you need it for the client, the warning still apears, at least if you don't change your ClientUserSettings.

If you want the service tier name (you don't run the code on the server) then no user validation is required.

There are serveral ways to do this. You can evaluate a Environment Variable text by using this method:

Or you use "system.environment.machinename":

I need to retrieve the client's COMPUTERNAME.

If the warning still appears when using Interop code, then I stick with Automation. What setting can be modified in ClientUserSettings.config to avoid this warning?

Thank you all

If someone is still interested how the .Net code look likes in C/AL here is an example

EXIT(SysEnv.GetEnvironmentVariable(property));

where property is text for e.g can 'COMPUTERNAME'
and SysEnv is variable of type DotNet and subtype
System.Environment.'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
