JSI Tip 8619. How can I use the Browstat.exe support tool to return computer names, their O/S, and network roles in my workgroup or domain?

When I run Browstat.exe, from \SUPPORT\TOOLS\SUPTOOLS.MSI on the Windows CD-ROM, on my LAN, a typical output line might contain:

\\JSI007            NT   05.02 (W,S,NT,SS,PBR,BBR,DFS)     JSIINC.COM

Where:

\\JSI007                is the computer name.

NT                      is the computer's operating system.

05.02                   is the operating system version (Windows Server 2003).

(W,S,NT,SS,PBR,BBR,DFS) are the BFLAGS, described by the following:
                               W     Workstation service
                               S     Server service

                               CLUS  NTCluster
                               DCE   IBM DSS

JSIINC.COM              is the srvcomment data value

NOTE: In a single segment LAN, you can run Browstat.exe on any computer. If your LAN has multiple segments, run it on the master browser.

I have scripted BrowInfo.bat to return the computer name, O/S, Version, BFLAGS (without the open and close parenthesis), and srvcomment.

The syntax for using BrowInfo.bat is:

for /f "Tokens=1-4*" %%a in ('BrowInfo.bat') do (
 set computer=%%a
 set OSN=%%b
 set OSV=%%c
 set BFLAGS=%%d
 set srvcmt=%%e
 call :DoSomething
)

NOTE: BrowInfo.bat converts any " marks in srvcomment to ' and encloses the entire string in " marks. The ( and ) are removed from BFLAGS.

BrowInfo.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
for /f "Tokens=2" %%a in ('browstat VIEW Transport^|find "\Device\"') do (
 for /f "Tokens=1-4*" %%b in ('browstat VIEW %%a^|findstr /L /B "\\"') do (
  set CMT=%%f
  if not \{%%f\}==\{\} set CMT=!CMT:"='!
  set FLG=%%e
  set FLG=!FLG:(=!
  set FLG=!FLG:^)=!
  @echo %%b %%c %%d !FLG! "!CMT!"
 )
)
endlocal
