passing %client name% to application

[RIchard Beach]

We're moving an application from being run directly on a client machine to
terminal services. All if well with the app, however, the Credit Card
processing software we use is licensed based upon receiving the NetBIOS name
of the client PC.

How can I get terminal services to pass that information correctly, or do I
have to go to MetaFrame on Win2K?

Thanks - RB

ClientName is accessible via RDP or ICA, but there is no SPACE in the
variable, so you'd use %CLIENTNAME%.

You can test this by logging onto an RDP session, go to the cmd prompt and
type "set", which lists all of the available variables.
