How to View Your Environment Variables
The following example pulls the variables directly from Windows, so NinjaOne does not have any control over which variables do and do not exist.
To display a list of set environment variables:
Windows
- Navigate to Start → All Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt.
- In the command prompt, enter set. A list of all the set environment variables displays in the command window.
MacOS
- Launch Terminal or a shell.
- Enter printenv.
