Win2K "secret weapon" browser State diagnostics (Browstat.exe)
Browstat is a character-based tool for diagnosing browsers, so there is no version below the GUI interface. Use this tool to find out if the browser is running, and to explore browser status in Windows workgroup in Windows2000 and windowsnt domains. You can also provide information about the state of the browser in a workgroup, including the name of the browser.
You can also use this tool to discover that the transfer commands (or "transporter") used on a computer are browstat dumpnet or browstat DN, and check the results. "Transfer" here refers to the transfer specified by the driver in Windows2000 or WindowsNT.
In addition, the tool's original documentation lists a set of flags for this tool, which are literally abbreviations for terminology, which have a clear meaning and cannot be redefined by the user. For these flags, refer to the table attached to this article. The meaning of the text is my own liberty plus go, for reference only.
As with other tool commands, Browstat.exe's use syntax is first and foremost the command browstat (which is already known as the Convention). Next is the option, and finally the destination to be reached, the so-called "destination" is generally a transporter or domain, or both. In the case of a person familiar with DOS, the set should be well known and not to be told.
