Hi all,  We got a requirement to get the "Domain" name using JavaScripting.  I am using MAC OS 10.6.8 with Indesign CS 6.  I tried using the below code to get the "USER" name, but not able to get the "Domain" name.  alert($.getenv("USER"))  Is there is any other method to get the "Domain" name, please suggest.  Thanks,  Shaji

Hope this may help you,

var batCreation = new File("/D/test.bat");

var batCode = 'cd D:\\ \n D: \n echo %USERDOMAIN%' + ' > ' +'domain.txt';

batCreation .open( "w" );

batCreation.writeln(batCode);   

batCreation.close();

batCreation.execute();  

var result = File('D:\\domain.txt');

  

while(!result.exists){ $.sleep(5); }   

result.open( 'r' );   

var domainName = result.read();

result.close();

result.remove();

batCreation.remove();

alert(domainName);
