Use
NSLOOKUP

Or

PING -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

NSLOOKUP uses DNS and PING will try WINS and DNS

If your computers are numbered like the ones I had, find the IP of your machine.

So if you are machine 26 and your ip ends with 60, you can make the calculations if you know whos sitting at what computer.

If you want to shut down the guy at computer 20, you can find the ip IF AND ONLY IF THE IP IS STATIC ( which in a school setting they should be, unless their admins are poor).

So to shut down the guy at 20, subtract your machine from his machine which gives you a difference of 6.

Subtract 6 from the last number in your ip and if they set it up right, his ip is exactly the same except the last number, which would hopefully be 54. You know what I mean?

"Unless their admins are poor..." LMAO

Or they want an easily administrated, sophisticated DHCP network with active directory. I opine so having WORKED in IT at a "school setting." Doesn't it occur to you that maybe we wouldn't want static IPs for the very reason you just gave (among others).

Of course, you could reference the PC by name once you're in the domain.

Of course, we just don't give people those kinds of permissions on Lab machines. Which we name statically on our secure domain and to which we apply liberal amounts of DHCP because it's efficient...

Or, if your admins are as retarded as mine are, it's (Building number, should be the same for all computers in the building)-(Room number)-1(computer number)

Needless to say, their servers were "Randomly" shutting down for the last week of school

GiantLeap, on Tuesday December 2, 2008 03:19:07 PM

The bad thing is that you are not using domain server to control all 100 workstations. so you will need to do it manually.. depending on your software it might have command prompt arguments, so you can make a silent install script (like msi), write the script to your USB stick as autorun and plug it to each pc.. or you can check if the workstations have "Remote assistance" enabled.. you can also dedicate one workstation as a file server, so your script will call another script at this file server from autorun like "\\workstation25\install\script.cmd"

If you can access files and folders of these 100 workstations, you can write a script to run through all the workstations and place your software "setup" script at the startup folder of the workstations..

GiantLeap, on Wednesday December 3, 2008 05:14:23 PM

The script is an usual batch file like "install.cmd" or whatever placed to each PC's c:\path to userprofile\start menu\Startup folder

Example of install.cmd:
rem Mapping your remote folder as local hard drive
net use x: \\WorkstationToBeUsedAsFileServer\PathToYourSoftware

rem Changing path to the mapped folder
x:

rem Running your software setup (for .MSI software)
msiexec /i software.msi /quit /norestart /AnyOtherOptionYouWant (check msiexec /? for more options)

rem Running your software setup (for .EXE software)
AnyThingYouWantToRun.exe

rem Disconnecting the mapped folder
net use x: /d

rem Shutting down PC
shutdown /s

You could always type in

net user into cmd
and this will give u the computer name and the people that use the network you are on

you don't really need the ip address of the computer to find out it's name

hope this helped.

Check for each program's parameters running the program and "/?" switch and type "help" in cmd, some switches are not documented so you need to search for them in the internet

Please help I actually want to be able to search the name of a computer with having an IP address. THe computer is connected to the domain but when the computers where set up to the domain no one wrote down the computer name with its IP so I was wondering is there a way to display all the computer names with the IP address or do a search on the server by the IP address that I have to be able to get the computer name or more info about that computer or user.
Thanks so much

FIXED: How to get a Computer-Name on a domain/network using the IP Address or Username a the user logged in on it.

1) Find the IP address of the computer if you do not already have it
1 a) Go to Computer Management (right click on My Computer and click on Manage)
1 b) Go to System Tools, Shared Folders, Sessions (in the left hand pane) and find the IP Address of the PC that the user is logged onto (this sometimes shows the computer name instead of the IP Address).

2) Find the Computer Name using the IP Address
2 a) Go to DHCP (in Control Panel, Administrative Tools)
2 b) Go to Scope, Address Leases in the left hand Pane and find the IP Address listed, this will then also give you the Computer Name

3) Go to www.brightvisions.co.uk and let us know how you got on.

Thanks for the tip, it works great, except that it appears to list all of the names that were ever associated with an IP address. I have multiple entries for the same IP.

Is there a way to refresh DNS so that it only contains valid connected names?
