Hi,

Just out of interest, is there a command that can be Run from a W2K
client machine, which will show me what 'Organizational Unit' the
machine belongs to? Of course, there is a number of commands and
places from a client machine that show the Domain it belongs to, but
never the Organizational Unit?

Thanks,
Nick.

While it might not be the most efficient, you can use ldifde to determine
this. However, you would need to know the way to filter....

I might think that Joe has that nifty little tool ADFIND that might just be
a bit better....not ever really played with it yet so I am not sure. His
web site is http://www.jopeware.net. Also, take a look at
oldcmp.....another great tool.

Err how about www.joeware.net. )

From the command line you could do something like

adfind -gc -b -f name=machinename -dn

and it should show the distinguished name of the machine. If you have multiple
objects with the same name it will show all of those objects so you can narrow
it down in various ways by modifying the specific query.
