I can't believe this company hasn't even tested it with 9 months to go. Click Start, and then click Network. Right click on the Local Area Connection select Properties. Click the WINS tab. Click OK and Exit the settings. This isn't an answer to your NetBios question, but I feel your pain. I work for a manufacturing shop as well, and the programming software for machines or for Engineering is in a very similar state. Many times we end up with machines whose programming software has not been kept up to date and maintenance had expired or the exact case you mention above - the vendor has done little to prepare their software for next generation operating systems.
We had an instance the other day where our help desk technician called a software vendor about software for a temperature gauge, and they specifically told him to use XP Mode. I hate that. We actually had to do a few P2Vs to get the software off the old box on which it was running and onto a VM for better DR.
That does not change the fact that it is XP, but at least the software won't tank if a workstation dies especially in the case where you inherit some software for which no one has installation disks. We can restore far quicker by restoring with Veeam. They said to run their software in Virtual XP Mode I've got an exact box in my office that is the same as the shop machines and I'm about to download a copy of Windows 7 32 Bit to test it yeah TechNet I've never installed their software so will need to lean on them some to get it to work I would imagine that Win7's XP mode would work with the software.
On a slightly different subject More than likely though, it is being tested and the person you were speaking to is not in the loop or doesn't care. Certainly any company that wants to continue to be profitable, is working on getting away from XP. One other thing to keep in mind is the hardware interface. Make sure the computer you get has the correct type of hardware connectivity for the device it's controlling, e. Because sometimes the limiting factor is an expensive machine, not a cheap commodity computer.
Next, not to knock them but the name of the company is Bradbury Co. Their machines make panels, purlin and trim for metal buildings. We just ran vmware on the windows 7 machines for that part of it to emulate xp. The CNC machine didn't seem to notice.
Confused the hell out of the users though. Yeah, I may have to do this I ended up having to do this at my old employer. Spin up a VM on the 7 machine and stick xp on it. Sucks but sometimes you just don't have a choice. I had the same issue when working IT at Maybelline. I have followed the XP method of placing the two netbeui files in their respective places, however, trying to install a new protocol hasn't worked because netbeui is NOT displayed as an option to install.
