Computer name?

Hi all,

I am new to NSIS and can't figure out how to get the name of the computer on which the install in running into a string variable. I will installing on MS XP and 2000 machines (servers and workstations).

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Yathosho,

Thank you but does your code not get the Domain name? I was looking for the Computer Name.
