Ah... that makes sense. Why bother using a well-supported, (semi)
meaningful, not to mention, standard means of obtaining information when
you can invent your own! So what sort of information could this glean
from Windows clients? I would imagine the netbios name would be the
same as the DNS name so I assume it would be able to pull some
additional information like a username? Anyone know the details?
