Comment: Anyone know of a way to accept user input into a system variable?? We'd like to prompt the user for a Computer Name to use Ghost Walker to create a new SID before a NT load. Just can't figure out a way to accept input using DOS Batch coding.

Reply: (edit)Hi,
If you can define the varible yes.
A user would type in "gost their name <-enter)
It would then go to a label. The label being their name or destination you have assigned. There is also a way to create a prompt for a password. But again the password needs to be set by you. Don't know if any of this is of help.
Most likly not.......I am having one of those days. LOL LOl Robin at World Library

Reply: (edit)How about this. @ECHO OFF
ECHO Type input (no spaces) and press [Enter].
::Following command is on one line
FC.EXE CON NUL /LB1 /N |DATE |FIND.EXE "1:">setinput.bat
ECHO SET INPUT=%%5> ENTER.BAT
CALL SETINPUT.BAT
IF "%INPUT%"=="" GOTO END
ECHO Input was %INPUT%
:END
FOR %%F IN (setinput.bat enter.bat) DO IF EXIST %%F DEL %%F For batch solutions see newsgroup

Reply: (edit)See here:
http://bigfoot.com/~batfiles/main/ntbatch.htm And also, news:alt.msdos.batch.nt
Usenet newsgroup on batch file programming for Windows NT. If your ISP does not yet carry it, go to http://www.deja.com/usenet/ or http://deja.com/home_ps.shtml and enter alt.msdos.batch.nt as the search key.
Contact your ISP and ask them to carry alt.msdos.batch.nt .
