 Hi,

 I have a PC that uses DHCP IP Address that has WINS Entry. I manage to
find the the database in the collection. However, if change the PC to a
static IP Address, and when discover it manage to find the old DHCP IP
Address that is assign to that computer despite that WINS record for the old
PC has been deleted. How can this been resolved? Where can i delete the
collection of database that might be cache.

In addition, when some of the machine is discover, the Domain name appear in
the collection but some don't, why is this so?

For those who have implement SMS2003 with NT4 domain, is using the Enhance
System Disocver.exe the only solution ?
Pls adivse

Thanks.
