Story

Simple little test program that tests name resolution and whether or not the PDC is responding to NETLOGON requests. I had to write this to identify a bug we found in Windows 2000 where very very busy PDC's would start to snowball into oblivion from the number of requests coming in. It simply calls NetGetDCName multiple times.

Download

You do not have to supply the email address. I would like you to fill that in though so that I have an idea on how popular a tool really is. If I see 1000 downloads with 900 different email addresses I know it is more widespread than one that has 1000 downloads and 200 different email addresses because the same person needed to keep downloading it for some reason.
