I am trying to troubleshoot a WINS browsing problem in a Server 2008 AD Forest. I am in one domain and the problem is with a sibling domain. What command can i use to dump or view the WINS database on a particular AD server by name, in a different domain than me? I thought one of the subcommands of net would have an option for this, but I can't find it. I also tried browstat.exe getblist but it gives me an error message "The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available".

I am not a domain admin and don't have any rights to the either domain other than a normal user.

Anyone know how this can be done?

What are the consequences of giving an AD domain differing NetBIOS and DNS names?

I've always accepted the default NetBIOS name when running DCPromo, for fear that creating a NetBIOS name… >>> More

Cannot browse remote networks even with WINS configured

As the NetBIOS protocol acts on Layer 2 and so is not routable, In order to enable network browsing of remote networks, WINS has been installed and configured on two domain controllers, both of which are on different networks. The WINS servers seem to be replicating with eachother, and each has 127… >>> More
