Edit LMHOSTS File on External Proxy
If a WINS server is not available but you need to resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses for
Windows servers that exist in another network, you can also edit the lmhosts file on the
external proxy.
1. On the external proxy, start a text editor like Notepad.
2. Locate the lmhosts file in this path:
<
Windows home drive>\<windows home directory>\system32\drivers\etc
For example, C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
3. Add an entry to the lmhosts file in the following format:
<IP Address> <ComputerName (NetBIOS Name)>
Where:
<
IP Address> is the IP address of each remote Windows server from which you wish to
collect WMI data.
<
ComputerName (NetBIOS Name)> is the NetBIOS name you wish to resolve.
4. Save the file.
