Getting one's hostname (not @ComputerName)

Hostname is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\hostname

Unlike @ComputerName, it can be changed dynamically through the registy. For example, the e-mailer Blat uses it directly.

Is there a command to get it besides reading that registry key?

Thanks!

Why is getting it from that registry key an issue? RegRead should allow you to read that key, and RegWrite should allow you to change it.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

$Hostname = RegRead("HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters", "Hostname")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $Hostname = ' & $Hostname & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
