Gets the NetBIOS name of the local computer on which the instance of SQL Server is currently running. For a clustered instance of SQL Server on a failover cluster, this value changes as the instance of SQL Server fails over to other nodes in the failover cluster. On a stand-alone instance of SQL Server, this value remains constant and returns the same value as the MachineName property.
