Hello everyone,

I have a samba server and several wannabe clients on a different subnet.
Is there a way to determine their windows os version through the network,
(without actually asking their owners or trying to physicaly locate 
the hosts)?

if i am not mistaken the info i'm looking for is exposed at least 
during the browser election proccess,
but that is not enough since i am on a different subnet. NetBIOS is 
open to those machines.

Is there a cmd line utility or source code for solaris/bsd/linux or 
windows that can be used for that purpose?

thanx,
Agis

I think it's possible - not sure though.

We have a specific exapansion variable that may be used inside smb.conf
to be replaced by remote OS signature, I cannot remember how it works
out which OS is on the other side or how accurate it is.

Look into smb.conf and search for %a

Detecting Windows OS Version through Samba

2003-03-05 Thread Agis Andreou
Hello everyone,

I have a samba server and several wannabe clients on a different subnet.
Is there a way to determine their windows os version through the network,
(without actually asking their owners or trying to physicaly locate the 
hosts)?

if i am not mistaken the info i'm looking for is exposed at least during 
the browser election proccess,
but that is not enough since i am on a different subnet. NetBIOS is open 
to those machines.

Is there a cmd line utility or source code for solaris/bsd/linux or 
windows that can be used for that purpose?

thanx,
Agis
