title: VBScript Environment Variable %COMPUTERNAME%
body: <p>I'm looking for some help with the environment variable %COMPUTERNAME%. It is working in my script as a means to name a file after the local host name. At another point I am using the script to build a folder in a different directory over the network (to a mapped drive) and I need to name the folder the local host name of the original computer. This may not make sense but I will provide an example below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Comp1 = BobPC
  Comp2 = JakePC
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am making a zip file on BobPC, which is then being copied over to JakePC, but I need this file to be copied into a directory like... C:\CopiedFiles\BobPc because this script will be run on many computers and each of them needs a folder where the files will be located named after the computer it came from.</p>
  
  <p>I hope this makes sense. </p>
  
  <p>Right now I can make it build a folder just fine but it names it the name of "JakePC" obviously because I am using the environment variables to grab the local host name.</p>
  
  <p>My question basically is how can I go about telling it to name the folder after the the original computer?</p>
  
  <p>If you have any questions let me know, I will be more than happy to explain because I know that I might not be making much sense. </p>
