- WMI Query for certain computer names but not others
SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Name LIKE 'MS%' AND NOT Name LIKE 'MSDS%' This will get all servers that start with MS except those that start with MSDS I also encourage you to use the WBEMTEST utility , it can help you fine tune these queries (and or make sure your answer is accurate on stack exchange!)
- windows - Resolve host name from IP address - Server Fault
This is the statement I wouldn't believe unless I see it myself ;) The explanation must be that nslookup uses only DNS protocol, but tracert uses the system name resolution library which uses DNS as a last resort, after WINS, NetBIOS, hosts file and so on were tried; however, in your example the name looks like DNS name

- Possible to set ComputerName in Unattend. xml with script?
So if you have a PC name specified in WDS client naming policy and have the xml configured to rename, then you'll run into that issue ProTip (After a deployment go to C:\windows\panther\UnattendGC\setupact log to review what was processed and when ) I recommend running the pc rename in the oobe stage
- What does lt;domain name gt;\ lt;computer name gt;$ mean? - Server Fault
The domain\machine-name$ naming convention is used to denote the computer account of a domain joined machine In regards to its usability, any service running as Local System or Network Service on that machine will authenticate across the network as domain\machine-name$ This naturally has associated security implications as well
