        ##End script and quit

    I have been trying to get this code to run from a desktop shortcut. For some reason I continue to get the following error.

    Result

    I was looking to implement this in our environment as an easier way to ask end users to provide network information based on LAN or VPN connection along with the users hostname.  Right now we have to explain either cmd line to get info or direct them to an internal website.  I want to add this to our gold image so it is available to new hires. Any help would be appreciated very much.
