IIS logs capturing PC name

Um, nope, all that gives me is the server name, not the client PC connecting
to the server. This was the whole reason we tested on IIS 6.0, since the
attribute for cs-host is included (assumed this meant the PC that was
requesting). Both servers are member servers, not attached to a domain
(stuck in workgroup). I was wondering if it may be a function of DNS not
providing the correct PC name. We really want to move forward with this, as
we have 3,500 PC's that could really use the patch just in our division. We
just need a better tool to see what PC's are patched with what patch. How
do we get on the beta list for SUS 2.0?

You'll get client IP, and username if you enable it in extended log
properties, but you need to do a DNS lookup on the IP to find the
name. It won't log NetBIOS names. I won't go into asking why you
have short leases on DHCP.
