The output of the -forest switch is quoted. This is why you are running into
"issues"
This is what your "Do" statement would look like when using the -forest
switch:
srvinfo \\"Name-Of-a-DC"|find /i "DNS Server"
The double-quote is throwing srvinfo off. Someone needs to fix the -forest
switch in dsquery.

Hi Deji,
I was thinking about the following but the results are wrong (and I
don't understand why!):
For /F %a IN ('dsquery server -o rdn -forest') do srvinfo \\%a |find /i
"DNS Server"
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks!
Mike Thommes

For /F %a IN ('dsquery server -o rdn') do portqry -n %a -e 53 -i|find /i
"listening"
This will check if the server is listening on 53, but it won't tell you
whether its MS-DNS or not.

first thing comes to mind is using WMI and check for the DNS server
service
and that it is also started

Subject: [ActiveDir] how to find DNS servers in a forest?
If I have a list of DCs in windows 2003 forest, I just want to verify if
they
have Microsoft-DNS installed on them? Where this information stored in
AD?
Or I want to find how many DC's have DNS Installed.
Thanks, Manjeet
