Get computer name length

[bu7ch]

I recently realized that some of our computers have long names (>15 characters). Is there a way to determine or query how many computers have a name that is greater than 14 characters?

probably u can try the below query to get the results:you can also modify script to pipe the results into excel.

 

Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")

strComputerDN = objSysInfo.ComputerName

Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & strComputerDN)

strFullDNSName = objComputer.dnsHostName

strHostNameOnly = left(strFullDNSName, instr(strFullDNSName, ".") - 1)

Wscript.Echo strHostNameOnly

 

BTW,Did u enable longer names in the computer account of the Active Directory domain. by default if the computer name is more than 15 characters ,it will take only first 15 characrts and join the computer to domain AFAIK.
