MORE INFORMATION
A Time Source server actually advertises itself through the browser

using the BROWSTAT utility from the Windows NT Resource Kit. To obtain this
information about the services running on this computer, do the following:
- Obtain a list of all active transports by typing the following command
from a Windows NT command prompt:
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
A. Backup servers retrieved from master DOMAIN_NAME
Note: You will have a listing like the above for each transport
available.
B. List servers participating in browsing and show services available.
- Type the following command to retrieve the services that are available
on each individual transport. For example, BROWSTAT VIEW <transport>
browstat view \Device\NwlnkIpx
This will return a list similar to the one below:
Remoting NetServerEnum to \\FLAXON on transport
\device\nwlnkipx with flags ffffffff
