[ActiveDir] Getting the Pre Windows 2000 name for a domain

[SysPro Support]

Title: RE: [ActiveDir] OT:Exchange 2003 SP1 bloat

Hi,   I have a requirement to determine the machines that are currently online for a particular domain. I use the Net View  command and give it a domain name such as:   Net View /Domain:DomName   Since  I know the Fully qualified Domain name AAA.BBB.CCC then I use:-   Net View /Domain:AAA   and it normally works. However I have one client that uses a different Pre Windows 2000 name (don't ask me why). I tried the following bit of code to try and programmatically work out the Pre Windows 2000 name:-       Dim Sdou As IADs     Dim PropertyValue As Variant          Set Sdou = GetObject("LDAP://DC=AAA,DC=BBB,DC=CCC")     For Each PropertyValue In Sdou.GetEx("Name")         If PropertyValue <> "" Then             MsgBox PropertyValue         End If     Next but it just returned AAA.   So, is there a property in Active Directory that returns the Pre Windows 2000 name?   Alternatively, is there anyway to determine the machines that are online via AD, rather than via the Net View command?   Alan Cuthbertson
