as mentioned above after doing lot of try & error I still stuck at this, all the reference I found till now still unable to solve this issue as I can't get the real computer name at all, instead most of example I tried before will return server name or the closest one will return "10" no matter how many user it captured. I'm making a log function for my system, so far I can get domain name, user ip address, user id like in my code below :
Please somebody guide me on how to get "User Computer Name"...TQ Everyone

SPSite spSite = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPSite spConvSite = new SPSite("www.mywebsite.com");
SPWeb spWeb = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPWeb spConvWeb = spConvSite.OpenWeb();
SPUser spUser = spWeb.CurrentUser;
string strDateLogCreated = DateTime.Now.ToString("ddMMyyyy-hhmmsstt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
string LogFolder = "D:\\Logs\\Client";
string[] LocalComputerName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(Request.ServerVariables["remote_addr"]).HostName.Split(new Char[] { '.' });
String ecn = System.Environment.MachineName;
string domainName = System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties().DomainName;
string hostName = Dns.GetHostName();
IPGlobalProperties ipProperties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties();
string testHost = ipProperties.HostName;
string testDomain = ipProperties.DomainName;
string strLocalIPAddress = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress.ToString();
string hName = "";
System.Net.IPHostEntry host = new System.Net.IPHostEntry();
host = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"]);
//Split out the host name from the FQDN
if (host.HostName.Contains("."))
{
string[] sSplit = host.HostName.Split('.');
hName = sSplit[0].ToString();
}
else
{
hName = host.HostName.ToString();
}
//return hName;
StreamWriter swLogFile = File.AppendText(String.Format(@"{0}\Client-{1}.log", LogFolder, strDateLogCreated));
swLogFile.WriteLine("*** Date & Time : " + DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
swLogFile.WriteLine("*** Initiated By : " + spUser.Name.ToString());
swLogFile.WriteLine("*** LAN ID : " + spUser.LoginName.ToString());
swLogFile.WriteLine("*** Computer Name : " + LocalComputerName[0].ToString());
swLogFile.WriteLine("*** IP Address : " + strLocalIPAddress.ToString());
swLogFile.WriteLine("---------------------------------------------------");
swLogFile.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + " - " + "Successfully captured.");
swLogFile.WriteLine("=====================================================================================================");
swLogFile.WriteLine("Test 1 : " + domainName.ToString());
swLogFile.WriteLine("Test 2 : " + hostName.ToString());
swLogFile.WriteLine("Test 3 : " + testHost.ToString());
swLogFile.WriteLine("Test 4 : " + System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("COMPUTERNAME"));
swLogFile.WriteLine("Test 5 : " + System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"]).HostName);
swLogFile.WriteLine("Test 6 : " + hName.ToString());
swLogFile.Flush();
}
Example of the output like this :
Date & Time : 18/02/2013 11:45:26 AM
Initiated By : USER NAME
LAN ID : DOMAIN\ID99999
Computer Name : 10 //I don't get the real user computer name here!
IP Address : 99.999.99.999
//-----------------------------------//
11:45:26 AM - Successfully captured.
//===================================//
Test 1 : DOMAIN.COMPANYDOMAIN.com
Test 2 : SERVERNAME
Test 3 : SERVERNAME
Test 4 : SERVERNAME
Test 5 : 99.999.99.999
Test 6 : 10 //Also return the same result
UPDATE :
I manage to get the answer now, the answer link to my answer on another post here :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/38953637/1785641
An updated version from Kelsey post on the link above :
$(function GetInfo() {
var network = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Network');
alert('User ID : ' + network.UserName + '\nComputer Name : ' + network.ComputerName + '\nDomain Name : ' + network.UserDomain);
document.getElementById('<%= currUserID.ClientID %>').value = network.UserName;
document.getElementById('<%= currMachineName.ClientID %>').value = network.ComputerName;
document.getElementById('<%= currMachineDOmain.ClientID %>').value = network.UserDomain;
});
To store the value, add these control :
<asp:HiddenField ID="currUserID" runat="server" /> <asp:HiddenField ID="currMachineName" runat="server" /> <asp:HiddenField ID="currMachineDOmain" runat="server" />
Where you also can calling it from behind like this :
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "MachineInfo", "GetInfo();", true);
Well, you're setting LocalComputerName
to
System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(
Request.ServerVariables["remote_addr"]).HostName.Split(new Char[] { '.' })
What happens if you change that to:
System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(Request.ServerVariables["remote_addr"])
If you end up with an IP address, try using nslookup
on that and seeing if you get a hostname. If you don't, your problem is in DNS resolution.
By the way, does the actual IP address start with 10.
