name resolution

The process of having software translate between names that are easy for users to work with and numerical IP addresses, which are difficult for users but necessary for TCP/IP communications. Name resolution can be provided by software components such as DNS or WINS.

See also Domain Name System (DNS).

See also Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

See also Windows Internet Name Service (WINS).

namespace

A unit for grouping WBEM classes and instances to control their scope and visibility. In SMS, namespace usually refers to the specific WBEM namespace: \SMS\Site_<sitecode>. This namespace is the location that exposes the classes and functionality of the SMS Provider.

native mode

In Windows 2000 domains, the domain mode in which all domain controllers in a domain are running Windows 2000 and a domain administrator has switched the domain operation mode from mixed mode to native mode. Native mode supports universal groups and nesting of groups. In native mode, domain controllers running Windows NT 4.0 or earlier are not supported.

In Windows Server 2003 domains, native mode is referred to as Windows 2000 native, and it is one of three domain functional levels available.

See also Active Directory.

See also mixed mode.

See also universal group.

NetBIOS Node Type

A designation of the exact mechanisms by which network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) names are resolved to IP addresses.

See also Internet Protocol (IP).

See also IP address.

See also network basic input/output system (NetBIOS).

NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT)

A feature that provides the NetBIOS programming interface over the TCP/IP protocol. It is used for monitoring routed servers that use NetBIOS name resolution.

Netsh

A command-line and scripting tool for networking components for local or remote computers running Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003.

network access server (NAS)

The device that accepts Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connections and places clients on the network that the NAS serves.

See also Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).

network address translator (NAT)

An IP router defined in RFC 1631 that can translate IP addresses and Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) port numbers as packets are forwarded.

See also Internet Protocol (IP).

See also IP address.

See also Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

See also User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

network basic input/output system (NetBIOS)

An application programming interface (API) that can be used by programs on a local area network (LAN). NetBIOS provides programs with a uniform set of commands for requesting the lower-level services required to manage names, conduct sessions, and send datagrams between nodes on a network.

See also local area network (LAN).

See also node.

network ID

A number used to identify the systems that are located on the same physical network bounded by routers. The network ID should be unique to the internetwork.

See also router.

node

For tree structures, a location on the tree that can have links to one or more items below it.

For local area networks (LANs), a device that is connected to the network and is capable of communicating with other network devices.

For server clusters, a computer system that is an active or inactive member of a cluster.

See also local area network (LAN).

See also server cluster.
