09/06/2006

Gets the name of the computer that generated the event.

 Event.SourceComputer

Access

Read/Write

Return Value

String

Remarks

The SourceComputer property is read-only when used with an event provided to the script by MOM. The property is read/write when used with a new event created with the ScriptContext.CreateEvent method.

When setting this property, use only NetBIOS names. Using other naming conventions can create duplicate entries in MOM for the same computer.

Examples

The following example sets the SourceComputer property based on the event that caused MOM to invoke the script. The SourceComputer property is set to the name of the computer that generated the event.

Function MakeEventFromEvent()
    Dim objSourceEvent
    Dim objNewEvent

    Set objSourceEvent = ScriptContext.Event
    Set objNewEvent = ScriptContext.CreateEvent()

    objNewEvent.LoggingDomain = "DOMAIN1"

    objNewEvent.UTCTime = objSourceEvent.UTCTime
    objNewEvent.UserName = objSourceEvent.UserName
    objNewEvent.SourceComputer = objSourceEvent.SourceComputer
    objNewEvent.Message = objSourceEvent.Message
    objNewEvent.LoggingComputer = objSourceEvent.LoggingComputer

    Set objSourceEvent = Nothing

    Set MakeEventFromEvent = objNewEvent
End Function
