Following this thread in case some answer pops up. I have a user having a similar problem - when switching between working from home (laptop that runs Horizon Viewer 7.5.6) and office (Horizon Terminal), the resolution would be too low and everything would be too big.

Thank you! You answered my question!

How to obtain host computer's name from within virtual machine

PlainVan1lla — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 18:09:00 GMT

My users run on VMware Horizon Client 5.5.0. From within the virtual machine, how would I get the name of the host computer? Preferably in a command line where I can capture the output to a text file. I see that the Z: drive is mapped to {username} on {computername}. I thought NET USE would give me the info but it misses the Z: drive altogether. If I issue NET USE Z: I would get

Local name = Z:

Remote name = \\tsclient\{username|

Resource type = Disk

I suppose TSCLIENT is some variable defined within the Horizon virtual machine. How would I get that name though?
