What is my Active Directory site?

Question

Is there a quick way to discover what Active Directory site the current server you are logged into is? I googled but couldn't find anything.

Answer 1

Sites are determined by subnet in CIDR notation in the Sites and Services snap-in. You could just take a screenshot of the configuration and by your IP address, determine what site it should be in. Now, if you're looking for a command that shows the CURRENT site try the gpresult command line tool. I'm almost positive that will print it out for you.

Answer 2

From a command prompt, run SET.

You'll get a listing of USERDOMAIN and USERDNSDOMAIN.

Answer 3

Run the following in an administrator command prompt:

gpresult  /R /Scope Computer

Example output:

C:\Windows\system32>gpresult  /R /Scope Computer
