I appreciate the compliment Rick ... nothing interesting this time I'm afraid ...   Anybody interested in a script that resets every DC's DSRM password to the same value?  ;-) -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: dwells@msetechnology.com http://msetechnology.com   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 1:23 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] FW: Batch Script Fun Heh….  I see that Dean has already answered this, so I’m most interested to see what the “Wizard of the Shell Script” has come up with….   Rick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2005 6:00 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] FW: Batch Script Fun   Maybe this didn’t go through this morning?     From: Brian Desmond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2005 2:34 PM To: 'ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org' Subject: Batch Script Fun   Ok, her’s what I need to do from within a .cmd file (this is the only hook I have into a process that runs on every workstation once an hour – no I can’t use a _vbscript_ or any of that):   Check device’s domain If Domain <> MyDomain             Run netdom and remove             Reboot Otherwise             Quit   Now I figured out a way to use wmic to get the domain, but it returns multiple lines of text, and I don’t have a clue how I would parse that in a batch file.   The output of “wmic computersystem get domain” looks like this:   Z:\Files\PsTools>wmic computersystem get domain Domain WORKGROUP     Z:\Files\PsTools>   I just need that “WORKGROUP”.   Ideally my script needs to work on NT and newer. I’ll settle for 2000 & newer and the field guys can do the NT ones by hand if need be. The NT inventory purportedly has WMI installed, which I presume means wmic would work. I’m all up for a different way of doing this – I don’t know of an environment variable or similar holding the machine’s domain.   Anyone got a way I can make this work?   --brian
