Windows XP login name display in cold fusion

3 New Member
I am working on a site using coldfusion, javascipt, and SQL Server 2005. I would like one of the fields on a form to autopopulate the user logged into the windows PC that is accessing the site. This is for an intranet based site and all the users should have similar pc's with Windows XP OS. I looked into WMI and think the solution lies in there, but have not been able to find the proper syntax to try. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

That wouldn't be possible with Coldfusion or JavaScript for that matter. You might get away with ActiveX scripting.

You could try this link from the MSDN documentation.

Is there a program, script or other tool for converting cold fusion into PHP? After googling for quite some time and not finding a solution, I am beginning to think that there is no magic bullet. We have site that was developed for our company in cold fusion (at great cost by an "independent" developer). The administration refuses to pour more money down the rat hole.

I realize this is a Microsoft group, but what are the advantages/disadvantages of cold fusion? People are telling me the coding required in .cfm is much less than .asp? Is this true? Which one is better? Any input is appreciated. Thanks Cory

I have 3,000 reports (dynamically generated and include graphs) that were created from a Cold Fusion Server behind our firewall. I now need to publish the results (static information) from these reports outside of our firewall on an IIS 4.0 server.

Whenever I query my database using Enterprise Manager, the response time is about a second. When I access the same data via a Cold Fusion webpage, it takes about 15 seconds (or more) to resolve. I created an index for the fields involved in the query and updated statistics. It makes no difference. Is there anything else I should look at? The table is only about 3000 records. Any suggestions to speed up queries when using Cold Fusion?...

Is there a decent Cold Fusion to ASP converter out there. I came across a pretty good PHP to ASP converter, but have had no luck with CF.

I am new to .NET and was wondering if there is a function like the evaluate function in Cold Fusion that lets you use the value of something as a variable name instead of using a select case statement. For example: Dim Line as String = "Action=Go" Dim URLParts() As String = Line.Split("=") Select Case URLParts(0).ToLower Case "action" us.CapabilityUrls.setAction(URLParts(1)) instead I want to be able to say something like...

I'm a Microsoft Access and ASP.NET developer. Currently I'm working at a company that uses Cold Fusion and we can't find any developers. I suggested that we use ASP.NET and Visual Studios. The Cold Fusion developers tell me that it takes longer to develope applications using ASP.NET. We are losing money because we can't get the applications created in Cold Fusion.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
