I have a task of locating a server based off of URL

So what my thought process is would be to first find the IP address
ping url.com

Then if it is a Windows server, try and utilize
nbtstat -A ip.address     or     nbtstat -a computername

Tried
tracert url.com
then connected to last hop/switch
sh arp | incl ip.address
sh mac-address-table address mac.address   (may want to lookup mac address for vendor)
if it shows up on a trunk or multiple ports, see if its going to another switch
sh cdp nei (look for the port that the sh mac-address-table address result included)

Also tried
nslookup ip.address

Also downloaded nmap and tried os detection but it couldn't identify the mac address
nmap -sVC -O -T4 url.com

Anyone have any other idea's for looking up information for a server in an intranet (internal LAN)
