This is my code that we ran (and are still running). It returns the PDC for a domain given not the Windows domain, but rather the internet domain (e.g. "umn.edu"). You can remove the .pdc from the DNS name in the code if any DC will do. I expect the original poster will need to find a Windows-specific module or function to find information about AD (hostname, ports, root DN) in order to access it via LDAP. Once you have that information, Net::LDAP is a great way to access it... %% Christopher A.
