Cannot Retrieve UserName Property in Windows Script Host (233976)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98
This article was previously published under Q233976 SYMPTOMS When you try to retrieve the UserName property by using the
WScript.Network object in a Windows 95/98 logon script, you receive a null
value. In some cases you may also receive an error code of 800704DD.
CAUSE This issue occurs because a Windows 95/98 logon script is
run before the logon process is complete. RESOLUTION To work around this issue, use a While loop to continue to
retrieve the value as long as it remains null. The following
VBScript code is a sample of how to implement the workaround.
On Error Resume Next
Dim strUserName
Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
While strUserName = ""
WScript.Sleep 10
strUserName = WSHNetwork.UserName
WEnd
