What is this strange entry in Microsoft Windows Network?


Recommended Posts

So I browse to My Network Places -> Entire Network -> Microsoft Windows Network

 

and I see my domain listed PLUS another called "Workgroup"...?

 

In workgroup are the following entries:

 

Balcarras-simsg

Brne02b6d

Brne02b48

Brne51240

Ep08c94e

EPbac6a7

Hpbalc

Oem-9n19wpo230x

 

???

 

What are these and where did they come from?

 

Many thanks for your response...

They are just machines that may not be on your domain normally 3rd party hardware that has come in but did not need to be on the domain and likewise with printed.

Looks like a group of devices on your network that are part of the default workgroup. I think sometimes network printers can appear in this way too.

Just checked - our XPe thin client appears in the default workgroup too along with all our network printers, cd server and clipbank server.
