Uniquely identify a windows server using just SMB/NetBIOS..

[Jeffrey Morris]

Hi Guys:
Thanks for the quick responses!

I did see the Server GUID in negProt, but I also saw that it was not  
being consistently returned by all
of the servers that I connected to. :-(

So I returned to thinking about Workgroup/NetBIOS Name. But even this  
has no guarantees, as
the name is only good within the domain/workgroup, and if the network  
is not well setup, then there
could be duplicates. (WORKGROUP/MYPC without WINS would only be  
defended within the
broadcast sub-net for MYPC, correct? )

Thanks;
JLM
