Hello list,

I am currently having a problem with a Windows 2003 server inside a
Windows 2003 server-based Active Directory domain. The problem is that
when I run the "hostname" command, it is empty:

C:\>hostname

C:\>

I suspect this happened after doing a clone of the VM machine and, by
error, starting it and changing its name in the same network of the
original one (this should have happened in an off-line network).

I have tried to take it out from the domain and register it again in
it, but his will not help. There is no conflict between the DNS and
the local hosts file on the server. The server is registered in both
the direct and inverse DNS lookup zones.

If I look in System > Properties > Computer Name, everything looks
fine: hostname and domain are correctly configured.

Any help will more than welcome.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Rodrigo.

Since you mention it's a vm clone - is the computersid duplicated?
Thank you and have a splendid day!

I believe that tool is using the gethostname WINSOCK API call, I expect you
are hitting an error and it isn't handling it gracefully.

Is TCP/IP working properly on that machine? Are all of the TCP/IP settings
correct?

If everything looks ok, I would recommend running regmon on a known good
machine and then do the same on the troublesome machine and see what the
differences are in the requests, you might get a hint there.

Freddy,

is there any stadard way (tools included in the W2K3 OS) to verify the
SID of a machine? I am not allowed to install or use any external
software, such as sysinternals, for instance.

Joe,

I believe that the application is using the wINSOCK API too. TCP/IP is
working fine and the setting are just are they should be... :-/ So I
will do a regmon on a good machine and extract the differences with
mine.

Thank you very much,
Best regards,
Rodrigo.

We seem to be drifting considerably here...


We went from how come hostname.exe doesn't work to how to
get the objectsid of a computer object.

I
could be wrong but I don't see the relevance of the SID, the computer's nor the
computer object's, on the ability of hostname.exe to function.


But
good posts nonetheless. :o)
