What kind of ID are you looking for? Do you want the computer name or some kind of serial number? What OS are you using? The answer is likely to be OS specific. Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 QUOTE (gleichman @ Oct 23 2008, 11:14 AM) The answer is likely to be OS specific. Right - and if you're running Windows, your answer is likely in the registry. Quote Link to comment

Mark Balla Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Along the same lines does anyone know how to get the docking station number out of windows? I have a laptop that travels between 3 different docking stations. Each has a different setup and I would like to differentiate between them so I can set them up accordingly.

If your docking stations equipped with network otuput, then you can differentiate them by MAC address. If you will get different ID from NI Utility, then you can differentiate stations by ID as well. Of course, you should store table with assotiations "who is who" somewhere on your laptop... Andrey. Quote Link to comment

Works on all systems. If a valid DNS setup is configured you get the machine name otherwise the IP number. Rolf Kalbermatter Quote Link to comment
