Q.

How can I determine if a remote computer is a NetWare server? All I have to work with is a machine name. Any and all help would be appreciated.

A.

A couple of APIs to use would include, NWCCOpenConnByName() or NWCCOpenConnByAddress(). These APIs can be used to determine if a NetWare connection is possible.

You may even want to consider trying a generic connect such as WnetAddConnection or WnetAddConnection2. Either way, you should be able to determine if a remote computer is a NetWare server.
