Hi Everyone,
I have a Windows 7 (Professional - 32 Bit) client computer connected to my Domain (Windows 2008 R2 Server) and I am getting inconsistent NetBIOS names returned when issuing different commands across the network.
The client computer has the following details when viewed through Administrative Tools > DNS (from the Server).
![]()
When I issue the ping command with the 'a' switch to 192.168.170.154 I get the following result.
![]()
Notice above that the name I am seeing for this computer is 'core2-xp-graeme...", but I should in fact be seeing 'I5-ROB-W7...'. If I issue the nbtstat command I see correct results for the NetBIOS name, as can be seen below.

If anybody has any idea of why this is happening can you please let me know?
Kind Regards,
Davo
