@NerdyDad said in nslookup - can it use WINS info:

@scottalanmiller Just out of curiosity, is there an nslookup alternative command for WINS? If so, what is it?

nblookup.exe

@Jason said in Lanier LD117 scan uploads are slow when NetBIOS disabled on remote share:

This is not a NetBIOS issue then..

While you might have assumed I said that it was, The symptom only showed itself after this change was made. Before the user went on vacation and while she was gone, the only change that was made was that NetBIOS was disabled, and DNS added to the printer along with putting FQDN in the SMB paths for the fileshare location.

@IRJ said in Renaming a Windows Computer from the Command Line:

I learned something new today. I have been using the shutdown command for years. I never realized you could rename a PC with it.

shutdown doesn't do the renaming, you just have to reboot after you rename.

I use "m" instead of c for computer name

/c is the comment for the logs to tell them that you just "Renamed Machine", it doesn't rename it, it literally puts "Renamed Machine" into the reboot logs.

Ok. Got ya.
