Title: RE: [ActiveDir] Enumerating DCs from a workstation that is not member of domain.
Sounds to me like you need to hardcode a domain account and password in an ADSI bind, then do a dsgetdc. Not sure whether you can do that in VB or VBscript, but I believe that's what the domain join and tools like nltest do. Now the scripting gurus can wade in.

Believe it or not Mike I gave that idea a lot of thought. NSLookup -t NS DomainName.com. But I would have to create a shell object, capture the output to a file and then parse it. Not the cleanest solution.
 
I was hoping to find an object that will kinda do it all.

Couldn't you just query DNS (ie, nslookup aa.bb.cc) and look at the IPs returned?

Hey Guys,

I am looking for a vb script or vb.net code that would return domain controllers (names or ip addresses) of a specific domain name on a workstation that is NOT member of the domain.

When you add a computer to a domain (right click "my computer", properties, Computer Name, Change) you specify a domain name. When you click on ok it will ask you for a username and password right? When you click "ok" the computer must talk with a domain controller to add your computer to the domain right? I basically need that functionality.

Thank you in advance.
