I
would suggest netsh, which comes with Windows 2000. It can be an interactive
program or can have all options given on the commandline, much like nslookup.
netsh wins
server \\<winsserver> show name
<systemname>
You can also specify the 16th char, useful if you want
to see something other than 00, 03 and 20 entries.
netsh wins server
\\<winsserver> show name name=<domain>
endchar=1c
However, with both
winscl and netsh, you would need access to the WINS servers.

-----Original Message-----I have been looking for a utility that will let me query WINS servers the way NSLOOKUP queries DNS servers. I haven't found anything yet so I thought there might be a way to script the query using perl.

Subject: WINS query
I looked through the documentation I have and I cannot find anything that tells how to send a query to a WINS server. Can anyone on the list point me at either the commands or some examples that would help me?
Background: We don't run the WINS servers where I work and I think they are broken. The only way I can track responses from WINS is indirectly and I am having trouble getting the people who run WINS to pay any attention. I need something that shows what each WINS server is sending out
