I have some 03h entries showing up in my WINS database with a $ after the machine name. For example, I have the following entries:

COFORD[03h]
COFORD$[03h]

The machine name is COFORD. Does anyone know why the dollar sign appears as well?

Machines and Users get an 03h entry. Do you have a username the same as a machine name? This would duplicate the entry and add a $.

I can understand why you say that; however, I have entries in WINS that have a $ behind the computer name which has no corresponding user name. Any other suggestions?
