rpcinfo: Call a specific program on a remote computer using UDP.

$ rpcinfo /u ${computer_name} ${program_name}

The command "rpcinfo" is used to query information about the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services running on a remote computer. In this specific case, it is used with the options "/u" to obtain information about the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) transport protocol.

"${computer_name}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual name or IP address of the remote computer you want to query. This specifies the target computer.

"${program_name}" is another placeholder that needs to be replaced with the name of the specific RPC program you are interested in querying. This could be any valid RPC program running on the target computer.

By executing this command, you can retrieve information about the specified RPC program running on the specified computer over UDP. It typically provides details such as the program's version number, transport protocol used, program identifier, and associated port number.
