Hi Bill,

You can't script it but you could be lucky.

If the application is looking up the computername, then if the username is
acceptable in lieu of a computername, it's as easy as setting an application
compatibility flag for the application.

I'll give you an example of what to do.

Let's say your application executable is called testapp.exe

Create a key under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Compatibility\Applications called
"TestApp".

Under that key create a Dword value called "Flags"  and assign a value of
0x10 Hex

The next time the application starts up when it looks up computername, it
will get the logged on username for that session.

regards,

Rick
