I have several ReadyNAS 626x devices running in a large corporate environment. I have added them to the ADS and I can access them and ping them by IP address. When I try to address them or ping them by device name they are not found. For troubleshooting purposes IT has asked me to do some windows cmd functions (Nslookup & set) which I cannot do because these are not windows machines and there is no CMD or terminal app.
Is there a terminal type app that can run similar commands?

Normally you enable ssh in the admin web ui (system->settings->services)
Then enter ssh root@nas-ip-address or ssh root@nas-name into the windows search bar on your PC. You'll need to trust the NAS credential, and then you'll get a password prompt. Use the NAS admin password.
At that point you will be access the linux command line interface (CLI) of the NAS - the equivalant of CMD.
Of course it isn't windows, so you'll have to use linux commands. nslookup will work. No idea what they want you to do with set, but just entering set will list the environment parameters (as it does in Windows).
You do need to be careful, especially if you aren't familar with linux.

Since you are in a corporate environment, you may also be running a version of Windows without the SSH client, and that's where PuTTY can help you connect to the SSH shell of the NAS.
