In the command prompt type HOSTNAME

 

The output of this command is handled by the Net View command, however we are going to be passing in our own parameters to find a computer name.

 

The syntax is as follows: Net view | find /i "your parameters"

 

By using a pipe ( | ) we can pass our parameters to the "find" command.

The /i is the ignore case and will ignore case sensitivity when finding your results
