Title: How to determine which is the default site

IF THAT SITE HAS NOT BEEN DELETED:

 

Use ADFIND from JOEWARE.NET

 

D:\TOOLS>adfind -h w2k3dc01 -b "CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=W2K3DOMAIN,DC=LAN"
-f "objectcategory=Site" whencreated uSNcreated

 

AdFind V01.26.00cpp Joe Richards ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) February 2005

 

Using server: W2K3DC01.W2K3DOMAIN.LAN
Directory: Windows Server 2003

 

dn:CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=W2K3DOMAIN,DC=LAN
>whenCreated: 20041115220249.0Z
>uSNCreated: 4112

 

dn:CN=NEW-SITE,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=W2K3DOMAIN,DC=LAN
>whenCreated: 20050413160858.0Z
>uSNCreated: 92419

 

2 Objects returned

 

D:\TOOLS>

 

USE THE FOLLOWING COMMAND:

adfind -h <YOUR_DC> -b "CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=<YOUR_DOMAIN>,DC=<YOUR_DOMAIN>" -f "objectcategory=Site" whencreated uSNcreated > SITES.TXT

 

* Import SITES.TXT into EXCEL (TAB delimited)

* Sort the column in ascending order

* See which uSNCreated and whenCreated has the lowest value

* Open sites.txt and search for the lowest values and you should see to which site these belong

 

Cheers

Subject: [ActiveDir] How to determine which is the default site

At some point in the dim, dark past, the default site was renamed (I assume it was not removed!)

Does anyone have a quick and easy way to determine which of the existing sites was once the default site? [It has been suggested that I look at the create date for all the sites and that the oldest one will be the default site :) I have >100 sites so need something more elegant/quicker. ]

Any suggestions more than welcome.

Thanks,
neil
