Ok, here's the deal. The other day I was going through my DHCP server and ran across a lease pointing to a computername that I didn't recognize.
It didn't show up like the rest as they have the computername.domain.com...this just had the computername listed. So, I start trying to track it down.
Ping IP - responds
Ping Hostname - fails
Ping -a IP - responds but doesn't show hostname
Tracert - shows 1 hop the way it should
NSLookUp - shows the server, address of the server then says that the domain controller can't find the IP address: Non-existent domain.
So, my question. How the hell can I track down what this is? I'm still able to ping it, but I've been to every network drop in our building and nothing is out of place.
I really don't know how to track this device down. Any ideas would be greatly welcome.
