If you mean the user? If this is the same as whoever would be logged in to the computer you would use the variable %username%, If that's not what you mean, just let me know.

For the computer name, the variable %ComputerName% should do the trick, and for the ip address... you will need to have this in your batch file:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

IPCONFIG | FIND "IPv4">IPCONFIG.txt

FOR /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a IN (IPCONFIG.txt) DO (
	SET IP=%%a
)
DEL IPCONFIG.txt

Then use the variable %IP%

Hope I've helped!
