2.2 Computer Information

The Publication Services Data Structure advertises three pieces of information about a computer:

• A type indicating that the device represents a computer

• The NetBIOS domain name for the computer

• The NetBIOS computer name

   <xs:simpleType name="DiscoveryTypeValues">
     <xs:restriction base="xs:QName">
       <xs:enumeration value="Computer" />
     </xs:restriction>
   </xs:simpleType>
    
   <xs:element name="Computer" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
  

  Element	Description
  wsdp:Relationship/wsdp:Host/wsdp:Types	Indicator type for a device representation of a Publication Services-enabled computer (pub:Computer).
  wsdp:Relationship/wsdp:Host/pub:Computer	NetBIOS information for the computer.

NetBIOS information for the computer is formatted as follows:

• If the computer is domain joined:

   <NetBIOS_Computer_Name>/Domain:<NetBIOS_Domain_Name>
  

• If the computer is in a workgroup:

   <NetBIOS_Computer_Name>\Workgroup:<Workgroup_Name>
  

• Otherwise:

   <NetBIOS_Computer_Name>\NotJoined
  

Note  The pub:Computer element replaces the <any> element wildcard of the HostServiceType complex type, which is instantiated through the <Host> element of the DPWS schema.
