Issue #12864 has been updated by Jeff Weiss.
+1! We have a few of options: 1. We can use Facter 2.0 in the next PE windows release. 1. We can backport to Facter 1.6.x. 1. We live with it being broken in PE 2.5. I can totally get behind either 1 or 2. I think 3 is appalling. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12864: Windows domain fact should use primary dns suffix first https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12864#change-63091 Author: Josh Cooper Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Jeff Weiss Category: windows Target version: 2.0.0 Keywords: windows Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/193 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. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
