How to get and set the local computer name #171
Here are two routines, one to read the computer name and the other to set it.
function GetPCName: string; var buffer: array[0..MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1] of Char; Size: Cardinal; begin Size := MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1; Windows.GetComputerName(@buffer, Size); Result := StrPas(buffer); end; function SetPCName(AName: string): Boolean; var PCName: array[0..MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1] of Char; Size: Cardinal; begin StrPCopy(PCName, AName); Result := Windows.SetComputerName(PCName); end;
SetPCName will fail unless the current user has administrator rights.
