BrowseList

Download BrowseList

BrowseList retrieves the browse list in a Windows network. The output list contains computer names and the roles they play in the network. For example, you can see which are PDC, BDC, stand-alone servers and workstations. You can also see the system comments (which can be fascinating reading).

Usage instructions

Download the exe file and run it from the Command Prompt. If you run it without parameters, it asks your system for the browse list. If you specify an IP address as the parameter, it asks that system for the browse list instead.
