Issue #12864 has been updated by Jeff Weiss.

Status changed from Accepted to In Topic Branch Pending Review
Assignee changed from Josh Cooper to Jeff Weiss
Branch set to https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/192

The WMI `Win32_ComputerSystem#Domain` is the WINDOWS domain, which may actually 
be different than the DNS domain.

On Windows, the primary DNS suffix is only available via the registry at the 
location Josh specified in the ticket description.

This pull request adds the ability to read the value from the registry.

Bug #12864: Windows domain fact should use primary dns suffix first
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12864#change-61548

Target version: 
Keywords: windows
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/192
Affected Facter version: 


Currently, the domain fact on Windows looks for the domain of the first network 
adapter for which IPEnabled is true. But Windows also has a concept of a 
primary/global dns suffix. If the primary DNS suffix is set, but none of the 
connection-specific domains are set, then facter will report an empty domain 
(which also affects the fqdn).

According to <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959322.aspx>

<pre>
By default, the primary DNS suffix of a computer that is running Windows 2000 
is set to the DNS name of the Active Directory domain to which the computer is 
joined.
</pre>

Facter should use the primary DNS suffix as the domain, if it is defined. 
Otherwise, fall back to what it does now. The value of the primary DNS suffix 
is stored in 
<pre>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Domain</pre>
 There may also be a WMI way to retrieve this.
