WINCE 6.0 - find HMI unique ID to use in VBscript

[lexje]

Hi,

I'm looking for a method to uniquely identify TP1200 HMI panels.
At first we tried to use this:

Dim object
Dim computerName

Set object = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
computerName = object.ExpandEnvironmentString("%COMPUTERNAME%")

But this does not work on WINCE.
Then I found this post http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=82339
talking about

Try system function startprogram.
This example will open cmd window and ping the local host
     Code:
     StartProgram "CMD", "/C ping 127.0.0.1", hmiShowmaximized, hmiyes

Does anyone know of a way to get the panel hostname in this way and copy it into a WINCC usable tag or string?

Would there any way to catch the MAC address for this purpose?

Thanks a lot for helping out!

Is this suitable for WinCE 6.0?
