About this tag
The dns-sd tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Apple Bonjour command-line tool dns-sd, particularly its use on Windows for network service discovery. Topics include running dns-sd at startup, hiding its command window, and integrating it with scripts (e.g., PHP) to share scanners or other devices via protocols like eSCL/Airscan. Users seek methods to launch dns-sd silently without user interaction, often in the context of enabling cross-platform device sharing between Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. The tag reflects practical troubleshooting for deploying Bonjour services on Windows in headless or automated setups.
