    As an aside, you can run %windir%\hh.exe ms-its:ntcmds.chm::/nbtstat.htm from a RUN window or a Command Line and get full info on the nbtstat command. Perhaps you already knew that. ;)

    Hi, Mithun.

    I'm only beginning to study networking, but here's what I'm thinking.

    I'm guessing the "one system" you cannot determine Login ID information of either has "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" disabled or it has a firewall blocking traffic through the NetBIOS ports (UDP ports 137, 138, and/or 139) at least against your IP address (or it's doing both) as a privacy/security measure.

    HI,

    Its not on one system actually i will explain you i have 4000 systems in my organisation suppose i want to check the login id of 10 systems using nbtstat -a ip address command. Ip address and subnet mask is same but out of 10 i am able to see login id of only 6 systems using same command(nbtstat -a ip address).I have checked the windows firewall on these systems it is in off mode and also NetBios over TCP/IP is enabled on these systems.

    Well, looking at Nbtstat on MS Technet shows this:

    I have no idea what you mean by "see login id "... nbtstat will only return the NetBIOS name.

    What error do you receive?

    Hi Arie,

    When we are typing nbtstat command using switch -a in command prompt it is showing.Example

    c:\> nbtstat -a 192.168.1.1

    EDUWS0841 <00> UNIQUE
    EDUWS0841 <20> UNIQUE
    IND <00> GROUP
    IND <1E> GROUP

    MAC Address = 00-1d-C0-26-54-B3

    same command i am typing on different system it is showing me

    C:\> nbtstat -a 192.168.1.3

    EDUWS0276 <00> UNIQUE Regist
    IND <00> GROUP Regist
    EDUWS0276 <20> UNIQUE Regist
    IND <1E> GROUP Regist
    EDUWS0276 <03> UNIQUE Regist
    EDUWS0276 <01> UNIQUE Regist
    MB25967 <03> UNIQUE Regist

    MAC Address = 00-17-F2-C7-B7-06

    One more thing i want to say that both the systems are in same domain ans also in same network.I hope you got the difference.

    I beliebe net sessions or another command will get logged in users, or you could use a script that queries the Event logs.

    As this command relies on NetBIOS, I'd check that the problem PC is set up for NetBIOS correctly. For example, is it point at a WINS server. You may also want to check that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled in the network connection.

    Also NetBIOS tends to fall back on DNS in modern Windows systems (XP and newer). Therefore, this could be a symptom of an underlying DNS issue. Make sure the problem PC is pointing at you ActiveDirectory server for its primary DNS.
