Windows 10: %COMPUTERNAME% returning upper case name

My computers have mixed case names and I use these mixed case names in directories on some NAS devices. I wanted to use these names in some .bat files and would prefer to have the same .bat files on each computer rather than custom files on each computer. But I just discovered that %computername% returns upper case. Is there some other variable that returns the true name?

This is on Win10 1909.

Windows 10 having trouble access samba shared with upper case name

I have several windows 10 computer on the LAN and a linux file server with a samba share. On two laptops, when I open the file explorer, it list all the computers on the network, including the samba server, all in upper case, both on the left hand side
panel and also in the top right side 'Computers' section.

When I click these computer names, most of them work as expected, asks credential and then let me access shared drive. Only on the samba server, when I click on it's name, it always shows an error message: "Windows cannot access \\SERVER" where server is
the name of the samba server. In the details box, it shows an error code '0x80070035', the network path was not found.

But, if I type \\SERVER (in upper or lower case) into the address bar in the file explorer, it works as expected, shows me all the shared contents from the server. And also, after this initial connection, clicking on the upper case SERVER name on the left
side panel works.

Windows Explorer - upper/lower case directory naming

Hi,

Windows itself distinguish upper/low case. But any program may tell Windows the exact path it want be installed to.

If some program will point to "program files" Windows will create this folder. Please check the names of programs installed to "program files" and ask their support for details.
