All,

I have created a batch FILE which runs a file on my computer. The batch is as follows

cd \PROG*\nov*
radntfyc.exe localhost radskman mname=ACCORD,dname=SOFTWARE,startdir=$MACHINE,uid=$MACHINE,handle_reboot=y,ask=n,ulogon=n,ind=y,cat=prompt,context=m

I am trying to work out how to change this so it will run on another PC. All the pc's have a unique computer name and the share name is c$.

Can i just change the batch file to change the startdir or uid to the computer i wantWell, you would have to explain a LOT more for me to understand your problem.

But to answer what I think is your basic question,

%computername%
That variable, used in your BAT file, will supply the computer name of whoever runs it.
