List all computer names on network

Our former router would display: computer name, IP address, and MAC address. Here, you can see that our "new and improved" router (issued by our benevolent ISP) only displays IP and MAC. I was just wondering if there were any ways for me to display computer names to better assess if any unauthorized users are leeching onto our network.
One quasi-solution was the command:
sudo nbtscan -r 192.168.0.1/24
However, it only shows Windows client names, and only some of the time (for instance, it isn't displaying a roommate's laptop name, even though his laptop is online and running Windows).

This may just prove to be the philosopher's stone for which I've sought However, when I run the command to view network hosts, it only displays one, my roommate's Chromecast, and just kinda idles on that (I've redacted the username and IP):
root@Sera:~# avahi-browse -alr
+ eth0 IPv4 Username Chromecast _googlecast._tcp local
= eth0 IPv4 Username Chromecast _googlecast._tcp local
hostname = [Username\032Chromecast.local]
address = [192.168.x.xx]
port = [8009]
txt = ["ic=/setup/icon.png" "md=Chromecast" "ve=02" "id=ed346d0f9965c73d2328545b8f55166e"]
EDIT: I seemed to have missed the part about avahi-browse detecting computers with Avahi installed :\ So, that might explain why most of the computers on the network aren't showing up -- although it doesn't explain why Chromecast shows up.
Here's a screenshot of our old router, which shows the names of connected users. I'd think it wouldn't be so hard to implement this on a 'newer' router.

I have more than 500 tables in my database.
'insert_date' & update_date column is found in more
than 100 tables with data type as date.
I need a query to list all table names and
'insert_date' column's content.What do you mean by "column's content". A table can have many rows. Do you want to display all the distinct value for these columns?
Below is the query to get the tables which has columns insert_Date and update_date
select table_name
from user_tab_columns
where column_name ='INSERT_DATE'
or column_name ='UPDATE_DATE'
/You can write a PL/SQL block to retrive the distinct values of INSERT_DATE for these tables
declare
TYPE ref_cur IS REF CURSOR;
insert_date_cur ref_cur;
lv_insert_date DATE;
cursor tables_list IS
select table_name
from user_tab_columns
where column_name ='INSERT_DATE';
begin
for cur_tables in tables_list
loop
OPEN insert_date_cur for 'SELECT DISTINCT insert_date from '||cur_tables.table_name;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('--------------------------------');
LOOP
FETCH insert_date_cur into lv_insert_date;
EXIT WHEN insert_date_cur%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(lv_insert_date);
END LOOP;
CLOSE insert_date_cur;
end loop;
end;I haven't tested this code. There might be some errors. Just posted something to start with for you.

Double computer name on network and NAT issue with Back to My Mac

These are the problems I am having:
When my MacPro workstation (which on the network is named "The Beast") wakes from sleep - I get a message saying "there is already a computer on the network with the name "The Beast". Other computers on the network can now find you at "The Beast-2"" and it gives me a new name in the file sharing preferences - even though it is the only computer on the network with that name.
Why is this happening???
The other problem is with BackTo My Mac - When I try to enable it - I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing" - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
Here is my network setup which consists of the Modem / Router from my ISP - an Airport Extreme Base Station and one Airport Express - which is connected to my MacPro via ethernet. The MacPro does not have an airport card installed and is running OSX 10.6.8 - all other computers / devices are running 10.7.x and iOS6).
VDSL Modem / Router (from Internet provider) with wireless turned off - (so it is not broadcasting a competing wireless signal) - connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme Base Station.
Here are all the settings on the AEBS and the Airport Express: - I am using Airport Utility 5.6.1 on my Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8 - so the setup prefs are different than the newer version of Airport Utility found on 10.7.x systems - but both work fine. Although I did notice that the option to allow ethernet clients to connect to the Airport Express does not exist (or I just didn't find it) in the newer version of Airport Utility.
Airport Extreme Base Station is set up as follows:
Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network
Wireless Settings:
Allow this network to be extended IS CHECKED
Radio Mode: 802.11n (b and g compatible)
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Access Control:
MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
Internet Settings:
Internet Connection:
Connect Using: Ethernet
Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode).
TCP/IP:
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
Advanced Settings:
Logging & Statistics:
Syslog Destination Address is blank (as in nothing appears in this field).
Syslog Level: 5 - Notice
Allow SNMP is CHECKED
MobileMe:
Back to my Mac is turned off - but if I try to turn it on I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
IPv6:
IPv6 Mode: Link-local only
As stated - my MacPro with no wifi card - is connected via ethernet to an Airport Express which connects wirelessly to the AEBS for network and internet access.
Airport Express Settings:
Airport Settings:
Wireless Mode: Join a Wireless Network
Allow Ethernet Clients IS CHECKED
Wireless Security WPA/WPA2 Personal
Internet Settings: Are grayed out (as in I can't change these settings - I assume because they are being controlled by the AEBS) and read as follows:
Connect Using: Wireless Network
Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode)
TCP/IP:
Configure IPv4: using DHCP
All other settings are identical to the AEBS.
All other WiFi devices in the house (MacBook Pro, iPhones, iPad's, iMac, Apple TV, Nintendo Wii etc…all are able to connect to the network and connect to the internet - no problem.
Thanks for any insights into what might be causing the double name on the network and why it is asking me to turn off NAT addressing - when both my Airport devices are in Bridge Mode?

I am also having this issue... any updates on this??

List all file names in a directory

Hello everybody,
I need to write a script in PL/SQL (oracle 10g) that lists all filenames in a specific directory on a client machine and import the files into the database (xml files). After the file is imported they have to be removed.
I was searching for a solution for this because I have never come accross a challenge like this.
What I found was that I could use the procedure dbms_backup_restore.searchfiles of the SYS schema.
Now I need to know how this procedure works. There is very little documentation available.
Can I give the procedure a folder name on my client computer that has the xml files and let the procedure list these files?
Can someone please help me with this. I haven't got a clue.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Mariane

Hello Justin,
Thank you for your reply.
You have just confirmed what I already was thinking: that the server cannot read files from the client.
I haven't got a client application running to do this. My customer wants me to write a script in PL/SQL that enables users to run an import of xml files in the database by giving in a directory name on the client.
I told my customer that they have to put the xml files on a server directory. Should that always be the server where the database resides on?
Is there another way to solve this request?
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Mariane

List all index names

Hi,
Is there any way that I can list all the CONTEXT indexes I have against a table?
Basically I want to drop an index but have forgotten its name (oops!).
Thanks.

Hi,
Try:

from user_indexes
where table_name = '&table_name'
and index_type = 'DOMAIN';

Why do I have multiple computer names in Network?

I have a problem since loading Yosemite. In my Network list I have 11 other names for the computer each with the original name followed by a number in brackets. Is there a way to delete these? Internet sharing is turned off. I do not yet use a time capsule. I also get a message saying another device is using the iMac's IP address when nothing else is.

The Calendar app pulls birthdays from the Contacts app.
If you also have another Birthday calendar with the same birthdays, they will show up twice.

List all SQL servers on network

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to produce a list of all the SQL servers running on a network and have been looking at the SQLDataSourceEnumerator GetDataSources method. However there is a note saying this may not show all the SQL servers and may return a different list each time it is called. I would be grateful if anyone has anymore information on why this will not always return a complete list and may be different each time or if anyone knows if there is a way I can get a list of SQL servers that is more consistent?
Thanks,
Caroline

How does one flush old computer names from network finder?

Whenever I select Network from the Go->Networks Finder menu item, the list of networked computers that appear in the finder includes names of computers that no longer exist on my network. I have tried reinitializing the com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.recentitems.plist without success. I am running Yosemite and this problem appears on all 3 of my Macs (iMac, mini, and MB Pro). Does anyone know how to clear this list?

2012 R2 RDS Shadowing from Server Manager - how to view client computer names

Hello,
I have a 2012R2 RDS session based deployment. We have a few generic user accounts for a production environment where a group of users uses the same username to start multiple RDS sessions. This creates a bit of a challenge when support has to shadow one
of those sessions because they all appear with the same name: domain\username. The Connections pane in RDS (Server manager) does not list client computer name, which would be the distinguishing factor. The old version of the RDS console (remote
desktop manager) had this information. Citrix appears to have it as well. Is there a way around this limitation in 2012R2 Server Manager?
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, there are two ways.
1. Use the Task Manager. In the Users Tab, you can see the client name.

2. Use the Terminal Services PowerShell Module. With the Get-TSSession in PowerShell, we can get the detailed information.

How to list all .URL shortcuts on multiple computers desktops

I've been searching to find a Powershell script that polls a list of computer names and then returns a list of the .URL shortcuts along with their targets from the logged in users desktop.
Does anyone know if there is one out there or at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks

$strComputer = Get-Content C:\ps\test.txt
function Get-DesktopShortcuts
$Shortcuts = Get-ChildItem -Recurse ~\desktop\ -Include *.url
$Shell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
foreach ($computer in $strComputer)
foreach ($Shortcut in $Shortcuts)
$Properties = @{
Computer = $computer.Name
ShortcutName = $Shortcut.Name
Target = $Shell.CreateShortcut($Shortcut).targetpath
New-Object PSObject -Property $Properties
[Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Shell) | Out-Null
$Output = Get-DesktopShortcuts
$Output
$Output | Export-Csv C:\ps\shortcut.csv
This is what I've put together but seems to only show a single url for each computer even though I know there are multiple .url files on the desktop for each computer. Plus it is outputting only google.com shortcuts. Hmmm

i tried this command "
Get-ADComputer -Filter * {Name -Like "TLV,"} Error :
Get-ADComputer : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'Name -Like "TLV"'.
At line:1 char:15
+ Get-ADComputer <<<< -Filter * {Name -Like "TLV"}
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-ADComputer], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.GetADComputer
or if have another option -command can read both computers name and then move them
My Website:www.Pelegit.co.il Mcitp /Mcsa 2012

Lol , My friend i dound that command in another website and it is working but thank you so much !
what about 2 differet name ?
Possible ?
Get-ADComputer -Filter {Name -like "TLV*,ISR*"}
My Website:www.Pelegit.co.il Mcitp /Mcsa 2012
You would need separate statements like
-Filter {(Name -Like "TLV*") -and (Name -Like "ISR*")}

Unix command to make list of file name

Hi Gurus,
I have seen post how to process multiple file from johngoodwin.blogspot.com.
But what is the equlivalent command in unix to list all file names.
I want one text file will contain all text file name and another text file will contain all csv filenames.
Need some suggestion.Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi please follow below steps.
vi yourfilename.sh
then in edit mode put your command
then save it by pressing esc : q (escape colon q)
Now your file will be there. just run that script file in OS Command.But that file should be accessible or else give the full path for that script file.
Thanks

How to list all filename in excuteable jar file?

Hi there,
i've been googling around for hours, but found no good answer :(
i want listing all file name in my excuteable jar file
Firstly, i use
File f = new File("/sounds");
String[] filenames = f.list();
and use these filenames to load some resouces from url
//ex
URL url = getClass().getResource("/sounds/"+filenames);
No problem occurs when i run it normally
but when I put it in excuteable jar file, NullPointerException appears
i think it's because : "File f = new File("/sounds");" doesn't work in jar file (somehow, i don't know why too)
is there any alternative way to listing all filename in this situation?
thanks in advance

There are jar handling classes in the standard library under java.util.jar. I think JarFile is the one you want.
Hower it's not good practice to list jar contents in order to read resources. It's better to have some kind of resource file in the jar which lists your sounds or whatever. A simple text file with one file name per line suffices.
