NB-scope

This attribute specifies the NetBIOS naming scope. It allows the unique NetBIOS name to expand for use in large or dispersed networks. This attribute limits the scope--also called the logical domain--of NetBIOS names. For example, the name JOE may have the scope ADMIN. End users cannot see the scope, but the name transmitted over the network contains both parts of the name, in the form JOE.ADMIN. The addition of the naming scope prevents confusion with other nodes called JOE on other network segments.

The scope applies over at least the local network segment and to all NetBIOS names in LM-NT-OS/2 realm. It consists of any ASCII string up to 256 characters. It defaults to no naming scope.

Usage:

tntransport -M -n tcpip -a NB-scope=scope-string
