The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need help tracking down each PC & it's name

Asked by TG-TIS in Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2000 Server, Active Directory

Tags: Windows 2003, Windows XP

I'm not a programmer, but I know a little batch programming:

Someone is connecting to my network with a PC that is running an app which is causing my Backup Exec Exchange job to fail. The network is a domain with two servers (192.168.0.3 & 0.7). This is an effort to track them down and eliminate that issue. I've tracked the issue to IP 192.168.0.103 but it appeared to be removed (like a laptop) or shut off. I support this site remotely so I can't go there quickly and hunt it down. This PC may also be using DHCP which makes the situation harder to track.

I wrote a quick batch file that runs on a Windows 2003 server to determine the workstation IP's currently connected to the network. I really need a list of all IP's (and PC names if possible) to determine when a specific IP is connected to the network. I'm not sure if it's using DHCP so that is why I'm also looking for the PC name.

I have three questions:
1. Will the Net Use command return all IP's currretly used on notes in the network?
2. How can I get the PC name included in the file at the same time?
3. Some PC's have been handed down from person to person and I don't have a good cross reference of PC name to user. Is there a way to capture the user's login name also?

Here is the initial batch file I created I'm running hourly through the Windows Task scheduler.
REM
For /f "tokens=1,2 delims=: " %%i in ('time /t') do set hr=%%i_%%j
For /f "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/- " %%i in ('date /t') do set mmddyy=%%i_%%j_%%k
FOR /f "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/- " %%i in ('date /t') do set ArchDate=%%i-%%j-%%k
REM
type daily_%ArchDate% >> c:\Log-test.txt
net use >> c:\Log-test.txt
