Not sure where to put this but since it is a script here goes...

IF
anyone remembers me asking a while ago about getting a PC name
from an already known username without having to dig through wins,
I have come up with a solution.
ELSE
It is not a total solution yet cause it only gives the most recent
PC name that the user logged in on.
ENDIF

Anyway, It is kix, and kixwin so there is nothing to install on
your PC (as long as you have the needed files.)

These 2 lines are in the login script for everyone to run...
code:
$INIFILE='\\MANFP1NT\Public\IT\User_PC\user_pc.ini'
$RC=WriteProfileString($INIFILE,'USERNAME',@USERID,@WKSTA)
And here is the code used to query the ini file to get the PC name...
code:
BREAK ON CLS

SetConsole('hide')

$INIFILE='\\MANFP1NT\Public\IT\User_PC\user_pc.ini'

DO
   DO
      IF Exist('%TEMP%\output.tmp') DEL '%TEMP%\output.tmp' ENDIF
      $OUTPUT='%TEMP%\output.tmp'
      SHELL '%COMSPEC% /c kixwin "file://'+@CURDIR+'\_userpc1.html" > "'+$OUTPUT+'"'
      $USER=ReadProfileString($OUTPUT,'PROMPT','USER')
      IF($USER<>'')
         $COMPUTER=ReadProfileString($INIFILE,'USERNAME',$USER)
         IF($COMPUTER='')
            $RETRY=MessageBox('Cannot find Computer for:'+@CRLF+@CRLF+
                              '[ '+Ucase($USER)+' ]'+@CRLF+@CRLF+
                              'Do you want to retry?',
                              'PCName from UserName',52,7)
         ELSE
            $RETRY=MessageBox('The most recent logged on PC for:'+@CRLF+@CRLF+
                              '[ '+Ucase($USER)+' ] = [ '+Ucase($COMPUTER)+' ]'+@CRLF+@CRLF+
                              'Do you want to look for another?',
                              'PCName from UserName',68)
         ENDIF
      ELSE
         $RETRY=MessageBox('-----------[ User Error ]-----------'+@CRLF+
                           'You did not enter a UserName'+@CRLF+
                           'Do you want to retry?',
                           'PCName from UserName',20,7)
      ENDIF
   UNTIL($COMPUTER<>'')
UNTIL($RETRY<>6)

QUIT(0)
Here is the html file used by kixwin...
code:
<html style="width:300;height:125;system:no;help:no">
<head>
 <title>PC Name</title>
<style>
 body
 {
  background-color:#CCCCCC;<!--|637A8C|-->
  margin-left:10;
  margin-right:10;
  margin-top:5
 }
 .button
 {
  width:75
 }
</style>
</head>
<body scroll=no onload()="body_onload()">
<div align="center">
<table>
<tr><td align="center"><font color="#000000"><b>User Name:</b></font></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center"><input type=text style="width:100%" id=username></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">
<input type=submit class=button onclick="ok.onclick()" value="OK" valign=right name=ok>
<input type=button class=button onclick="cancel.onclick()" value="Cancel" name=cancel>
</td></tr>
</div>
</body>
<script>
function body_onload()
{
 var argv = new Array;
 argv = window.dialogArguments.split(";");
 document.all.username.value = argv[0];
 window.returnValue = -1;
}
function ok.onclick()
{
 window.returnValue = "[PROMPT]\nuser="+username.value;
 window.close();
}
function cancel.onclick()
{
 window.returnValue = -1;
 window.close();
}
</script>
</html>
And last but not least (maybe)...Here it is in AutoIt.
Why you ask, cause I like the way AutoIt compiles into an exe.
Unfortunatly though no way around the darn "GOTO's"
code:
HideAutoItWin, on

START:
InputBox, USER, PC from UserName, Enter the username:
StringLen, LEN, USER
IfEqual, %LEN%, 0, GOTO, NO_USER

RETURN_PC:
IniRead, PC, \\\\MANFP1NT\\Public\\IT\\User_PC\\user_pc.ini, USERNAME, %USER%
IfEqual, PC, ERROR, GOTO, NO_PC

MsgBox, 68, --[ %USER% ]--, Last logged onto Computer:\n\n[ %PC% ]\n\nDo you want to look for another PC?\n
IfMsgBox, YES, GOTO, START
IfMsgBox, NO, GOTO, END
GOTO, END

NO_USER:
MsgBox, 20, --[ ERROR ]--, You did not enter a UserName.\nDo you want to try again?\n
IfMsgBox, YES, GOTO, START
IfMsgBox, NO, GOTO, END

NO_PC:
MsgBox, 20, --[ ERROR ]--, Cannot find PC for %USER%.\nDo you want to try again?\n
IfMsgBox, YES, GOTO, START
IfMsgBox, NO, GOTO, END

END:
Exit
