I wrote something similar, but didn't like the idea of reading the registry
with everypage request, so i came up with a dynamic whatserveristhis.cfm:
<cfset
regroot="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\Co
mputerName">
<cfregistry action="GETALL"
branch="#regroot#"
name="RegQuery"
type="String">
<cfset request.thisserver = RegQuery.value>
<cffile action="READ" file="#GetCurrentTemplatePath()#" variable="myvar">
<cfset output = "<cfsilent>"
& chr(60) & "!--- "
& chr(10)
& myvar
& chr(10)
& " ---" & chr(62)
& chr(10)
& "</cfsilent><cfset request.thisserver = """
& request.thisserver & """>">
<cffile action="Write"
file="#GetCurrentTemplatePath()#"
output="#output#"
addnewline="No">
What is does is read the registry and set the request.thisserver = machine
name.
And now the cunning bit - it uses CFFILE read and write to replace itself
with the <cfset> hardcoded, and the rest commented out...try it and you'll
see what i mean.
