NetBT NodeType configuration
Download ADMXThe NetBT NodeType setting determines what methods NetBT uses to register and resolve names: * A B-node computer uses broadcasts. * A P-node computer uses only point-to-point name queries to a name server (WINS). * An M-node computer broadcasts first, and then queries the name server. * An H-node computer queries the name server first, and then broadcasts. Resolution through LMHOSTS or DNS follows these methods. If the NodeType value is present, it overrides any DhcpNodeType value. If neither NodeType nor DhcpNodeType is present, the computer uses B-node if there are no WINS servers configured for the network, or H-node if there is at least one WINS server configured.
