    Hello All,

    Is there any way to retrieve name of the client machine using any command,

    like we have "AppVCurrentUserSID" to get the SID of a machine.

    I have a small requirement like, we need to copy a registry to a user machine under their computer name. 

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The App-V 5 sequencing guide does list a token for the computer name, [{AppVComputerName}].  I have not used it though.  The guide was written for App-V 5.0, I don't know if anything is outdated.

    If anyone has experience with the Custom Token I'd be very interested to hear more.

    Here you can read how to use the tokens/variables in the Deployment or User Config files.

    It also has an example how to use the Hostname/Computername in the registry.

    Hi learner_cr,

    You can use the hostname command with powershell or cmd.

    yea, we could use hostname in command,

    I have doubt in how to use it in our xml file

    for example if the deployment config's virtual registry is like this

    Software\Appname\Test\1.0\"Hostname"\AnotherKey]

    if we are directly giving hostname in config file, it fails, for this is there any other way.

    Thanks!

    Use a script for that (batch, vbscript, powershell).

    Within a script you can use %hostname% for example in a batch script.
