Re: how to determine if a w2k machine is part of a domain

Hi,

I guess you could ues IsMember9.vbs to check if the group "Domain Admins" is
a member of the local Administrators group. By default, this group is added
to the local Administrators group when the computer joins the domain, but it
can be changed. Also, the Administrators group can be renamed.

A better approach would be to attempt to bind to the RootDSE object and trap
the error if this fails.

On Error Resume Next
Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE";)
If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
Wscript.Echo "Active Directory domain not found"
Wscript.Quit
End If
On Error GoTo 0
strDNSDomain = objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")

However, the error is raised if a Domain Controller cannot be contacted
(perhaps the network cable is disconnected), even if the machine has been
joined to the domain. This may still suit your needs.

Otherwise, you might look for a registry setting. Perhaps

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ads\Providers\LDAP
