Alternate credentials using %logonserver%

[ErikMayerstein]

Hi,

Is it possible to use the environment variable %logonserver% when setting alternate credentials?

The reason for my question is because we have tons of domains but the same username on each one, therefore it would be useful to use %logonserver%.

Thank you,

EM

EM – It is not possible to use %logonserver% in the alternate credentials form.

Just to confirm is there a variable such as $computer for this scenario?

Thank you,

Yes, in the ‘Alternate credentials’ field if you uncheck the box that says ‘Domain’ you’ll notice that ‘$computer’ is automatically populated in the ‘domain’ field. So if you had a local account on each computer with the same username, that would be one way you could handle it.
