Is is possible to read system environment variables in a Windows Scripting Host (WSH) VBS script?

(I am writing a VBScript using Windows Scripting Host for task for a Cruise Control and want to pick up the project build URL.)

Set oShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
user=oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%UserName%")
comp=oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ComputerName%")
WScript.Echo user & " " & comp
