Determine if the current pc is part of a domain? Topic is solved

[drawback]

Hi,

is there a method to determine if the current pc you're working on is part of a Windows Active Directory domain?
A simple true / false would be sufficient, no further information is needed (what is the name of the Domain Controller you're authenticated with or anything like that)...

Code: Select all

MsgBox % NetGetJoinInformation()

NetGetJoinInformation()
{
    DllCall("netapi32.dll\NetGetJoinInformation", "ptr", 0, "ptr*", name, "int*", type)
    return type, DllCall("netapi32.dll\NetApiBufferFree", "ptr", name)
}

Return Codes

NetSetupUnknownStatus  -> 0    (The status is unknown.)
NetSetupUnjoined       -> 1    (The computer is not joined.)
NetSetupWorkgroupName  -> 2    (The computer is joined to a workgroup.)
NetSetupDomainName     -> 3    (The computer is joined to a domain.)

Thank you, jNizM!

Here's another way:

Code: Select all

for pc in ComObjGet("winmgmts:").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")
    if pc.PartOfDomain
        MsgBox % pc.Name " is in domain " pc.Domain
    else
        MsgBox % pc.Name " is not in a domain"

It may be worth familiarising yourself with WMI. You can get a lot of other useful information just by taking this code and replacing the class name (Win32_ComputerSystem) and property names (PartOfDomain, Name, Domain).

You can not only query information, but also make changes, such as by calling pc.UnjoinDomainOrWorkgroup(...).
