Hello,

Is possible to return the machine domain from the user?

i can return the hostname using "_CLIENTMACHINE" from SASHELP.VMACRO, but i cant find the Windows domain.

Anyone knows where i can find this?

Thank you

Hi @RaphaelGnecco ,

You can view all of the SAS macro variables in your current SAS session by selecting Tools > SAS macro variable viewer from the SAS Enterprise Guide menu.

Does that help?

thanks,

Jennifer

Hi @jennifert , in the SAS macro variable viewer, only have the _CLIENTNAME, but i can´t find the Machine Domain. I try to search in the SASLIBs, but i cannot find that information.

The system macro variable _SASHOSTNAME reports your SAS application server's name including the domain. I don't think there is any similar one for your client PC except _CLIENTNAME which as you say doesn't include the domain.

Why not ask Windows for that information?

On my Windows machine I see environment variables like

USERDNSDOMAIN=xxx.yyy.COM
USERDOMAIN=xxx
USERDOMAIN_ROAMINGPROFILE=xxx
USERNAME=zzz
USERPROFILE=C:\Users\zzz

not sure if those are Windows defaults or something our local support team created.
