Computer name

[J Michel]

I have a large W2K network and unfortunately, not all PC's
followed the same naming convention and have different
admin passwords. Is there a way to determine the PC's
doamin name without being able to log into the machine? I
think if I know the machine name, I can reset the admin
password.

You can get the hostname by pinging it with -a (ping -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

Two tools I know of can do this for you. You'll have to fiddle with a
few settings to get computernames and hostnames to show but it's not
difficult.
