WinServer Connects To SMB Share As "TINA2"

  • 772

I have a computer that has a fileshare (Windows Server 2012). When I looked at the sessions, I saw a computer named tina2. There is no current computer on our network named tina2. When I investigated, it turns out that the computer shown as tina2 is in fact GRE-V-QS02 (Windows Server 2016).

For some reason, GRE-V-QS02 is masquerading on the fileshare as tina2.

Does anyone know what could be going on? I've checked the control panel, and the computer name is correct.

How do I get GRE-V-QS02 to stop showing up as tina2 in the Shared Folders > Sessions list.

Any helps is greatly appreciated

  1. It appears to be a DNS issue. The Forward Lookup Zone has one value(GRE-V-QS02), and the Reverse Lookup Zone has another (tina2).

    The computer of Tina2 has not been on the network in years, so this problem is most likely a byproduct of not cleaning up the AD system. Thanks for yalls help.
