NBLookup utility

[John]

I just found this cool tool on microsoft.com. I have
never heard of this tool before?

It is a great tool for troubleshooting WINS/NetBIOS name
resolution issues. Its just like nslookup, but for WINS.

I'm impressed. Check it out:

Hi John. Thank-you for your post.

I am happy to hear that you like NBLookup. I developed it to help
customers troubleshoot WINS and name resolution issues.

Since nslookup is already the defacto troubleshooting tool for DNS, I
decided to use the same approach for this tool. I also added a feature
that I originally put into a tool called DNSLint. The query list feature
(/ql) allows you to verify a large number of WINS records very quickly. So
between NBLookup and DNSLint you can verify all of your important WINS and
DNS records very quickly.

I hope that you find these tools useful.
