Which command shows you the NetBIOS name table for the local machine?

• A. nbtstat -n
• B. nbtstat -c
• C. nbtstat -r
• D. nbtstat -s

Answer: (A)

nbtstat -n displays the NetBIOS name table of the local machine. This is the list of NetBIOS names the host has registered on the network (its own computer name and any aliases), along with the type and registration status. It helps you see which names are currently registered with the NetBIOS name service and whether they’re active. The other options pull different information: -c shows the NetBIOS name cache (recently resolved names), -r shows names resolved by broadcast or WINS, and -s lists active NetBIOS sessions with other machines. So, to view the local machine’s NetBIOS name registrations, use the command with -n.
