typically we can get it from follwoing files -
\winnt\system32\drivers\etc - hosts
in this case host file does not have computer name.
Is it possible to get it from registry in offline?

Hi,

On XP it's here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName, "ComputerName"
You would have to mount the registry of the target windows installation using an off line registry tool.
