MORE INFORMATION
A Time Source server actually advertises itself through the browser
function. You can obtain of list of the services running on a computer
using the BROWSTAT utility from the Windows NT Resource Kit. To obtain this
information, perform the following steps:
- Obtain a list of all active transports by typing the following command:
BROWSTAT STATUS [-v] [Domain]
This will return a list similar to the below:
Status for domain DOMAIN_NAME on transport \Device\NwlnkIpx
Browsing is active on domain.
Master browser is running build 1057
1 backup servers retrieved from master DOMAIN_NAME
NOTE: You will have a listing like the above for each transport
available.
- List servers participating in browsing and show services available.
BROWSTAT VIEW <transport>
Eg. BROWSTAT VIEW \Device\NwlnkIpx
This will return a list similar to the below:
Remoting NetServerEnum to \\FLAXON on transport
\device\nwlnkipx with flags ffffffff
