We have 2003 environment. FFL/DFL are 2003 and no powershell is installed. Is there any way to pull the DNS server details from my domain?

Hi All,
In my organization we have lot of WINS servers placed in different sites. Due to non proper naming standards it is difficult to identify the WINS server details. Is there any command or any option to find the entire list of WINS servers in a Domain ??

Hello,
You can ask this question in windows powershell forum to get a script. There you might get an answer.

However you can follow the below thread which discuss the same problem.It might be helpful for you to understand this better.

You have do not use Powershell yet you post the question in the Powershell forums, the irony... Anyway you also did not specify what kind of data you require. If you want to just know the ip of the dns server you can type ipconfig /all to see which DNS server you are connected to. If you want to see how the DNS server is configured you could type dnsmgmt.msc on the DNS server or a server with management tools installed and select the DNS server you want to manage.
If you want to script it, well then here is a site with five different scripts that can perform the following actions:

As this is not a Powershell problem, I suggest you post to the Official Scripting Guy's forum, here:

While we are at it, you say from a domain ... Are you interested in information on domain joined computers?
If so, see http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Gather-DNS-settings-from-fec23eaa - that can be modified as needed.

Hi All, Sorry for the confusion :(
I'm looking for the WINS server names which is configured in my domain. Due to non proper naming standards im unable to find all the WINS servers which is installed in different site (more than 300). So i'm looking for an option to list all the WINS servers so that i can reconfigure it.

Alright then, here is what you can do to find WINS servers in your domain. There is no single query to just find them all so it involves some manual labor:
I would start by connecting to the "known" WINS servers using the WINS Admin tool. Take a look at the replication partners. Also, if you expand Active Registrations, Right Click and Delete Owners, you can see a list of all of the WINS servers that have registrations in the database you are looking at on that server.
I would also look at all of the DHCP scopes and see if any WINS server information is being used to configure your clients.
Additionally, you may have other WINS servers that are not participating in a replication topology, so you may have to do some port scanning and look for systems that respond on 42 (port used for replication) and 1512 (WINS server listens for client traffic).
When you get all of that worked out, this may be of some help for you.

In owner tab i could see hell lot of stale server details. Now i'm in the process of reduing the DNS servers in my environment.
What is that all server details in Ower tab? May be this is silly question.. I dont have much knowledge in WINS...
Is there anyway to delete those server details in a single shot. Now i'm able to delete server one by one.. and it is difficult the entire list.

Hi Nidhin,
I see you already found the link with the Netsh commands, Netsh commands for WINS. Are you running into any problems running the commands and if so can you paste what you typed and what is not working?

Hi Jaap, Sorry for the delayed response..
I'm not getting any error message.. It is showing that command completed successfully.. But when i checked the owners tab i could see that same no stale records in owners tab.. actually it is not deleting..
This WINS server (where i executed this command) is also getting replication from other servers.. so do you thisnk is this is the problem ? or is there any other command to completily remove the records from owners tab?

Well the way wins works is by tombstoning records, this means the records are not actually deleted but placed as a tombstone. The tombstone then gets replicated to all other WINS servers and will be inactive from there on. This is because of the de-centralized nature of WINS replication. So I would recommend you tombstone the records before deleting them.
An article about deleting records from WINS: Deletion of WINS Database Records
