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?  ;-)

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….

Maybe this didn’t go through this morning?

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?
