Hi Gintaras,
I am having trouble with the net command in specifying the computer name. The net command works if an ip address is entered but not reliably if computer name is entered. Because ip address works, I know it should not be due to IP blocking from firewall. Exception is in the firewall list also.
Interestingly, the GetUserComputer command returns a computer name in all caps, yet in the Name portion of Computer Info on the Options->Network tab, it's in small case and has the domain.org attached to it. If I put the name of the computer I am sending to in all caps, the command is received on some computers but not others. Some require it in all lower case or even mixed. None will recognize if I add the domain.
I would prefer not to use IP address because it changes from time to time but the computer name stays static.
Any explanation for this strange behaviour?
Thanks,
S
