Well, that's one of our current options, yes. But more like:

Code:

helpdesk.bat
app /tell me the computer name and IP address of X

I would like something just a little more streamlined, capable of adding additional needs in the future when they arise which is why I aim to make this a batch file in a PATH folder. Current aim for this command would be to show the desktop, and display either a pop-up window or a background image showing the desired standardized information, including computer name and IP address. It can be run through XP's run command box or through Vista's search box entry.

It's not that big a deal getting the computer name using hostname or having a user scroll through ipconfig output to obtain the IP address of the machine (among many other options for obtaining this information), but for the sake of standardization and optimization I would like something just a bit more precise.

We also have a new tool that would incorporate well into such an execution as such that includes automatic emailing (except I want to keep the send action manual).
