Dear All,

does anyone know how to find a computer name in the domain without physically phoneing the person up to ask them what there computer is called. We are using Active Directory, after using WINS in NT4.0, you could see what IP Address was allocated to a userid and ping to resolve the IP address to machine name. Is there any free tools in WIN2K without using WINS.
