Can someone tell me how to extract the Base Distinguished Name
from a domain? What I need is a simple VBScript or JScript that
will extract this information by only knowing the name of the
domain in the form of xxx.xxx.com.

References to the Win2K Resource Kit are useless to me because in
this particular case I don't have access to it and the domain
administrator doesn't want to be bothered.

What I am trying to do is set up Cognos Impromptu Web Reports. Do
you LDAP authentication I need to know the base distinguished
name. I have tried using several scripts that print out items
from ADS, but I just can't determine out of everything that I am
seeing what the base distinguished name would be.

The information in the Cognos documentation is fairly useless
because the authors apparently made the assumption that the whole
world would adapt their naming scheme and that having done so
their default settings would work everywhere. Obviously that is a
false assumption, but they provide no assistence to help anyone
determine the base distinguished name.

Any help appreciated.
