Here's the quick and dirty way that can be unfriendly for NT clients.
C:\>net send username ""
The message was successfully sent...
C:\>nbtstat -c
Name Type Host Address Life [sec]
----------------------------------------------------
USERNAME <03> UNIQUE 192.168.1.100 520
(NOTE IP ADDRESS)
C:\>nbtstat -A 192.168.1.100
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
COMPUTER10 <00> UNIQUE Registered
It's a three step process.
Net send "" to the user. If the use is running Windows 2000 or higher, he
will see nothing. NT users will see a blank net send. The messenger
service will locate the username by finding the computer with an <03>
registration with that username. That resolution will be stored in your
local netbios cache. Look at that cache with the nbtstat -c command. That
will show you the correlation between the username and the IP address. And
then you can look at that machine's netbios table with nbtstat -A [ip] and
get its computer name <00>.
