HI,

Is there anyway to check remote computer name if I only know the ip address by vbscript.

many thanks for any advice

I would recommend downloading and installing the Toolsack Baseline Components, which is a free set of VBscript COM objects. One of those objects does exactly what you want.

"Resolve Address" Method of the DNS Client Object (address wraps)

Hope this helps
