Yeah, I thought of checking it that way, but still am treading carefully
during my first few days here.  I hate the lack of netbios stuff.  It's
handy.

Try to log onto it.  In the "domains" list, is there an entry for "This
computer"?

 

If so, it's not a DC.  If not, it is a DC.

 

Easy Peasy.

Hi group,

 

How can I determine if a machine on my network is a domain controller?  The
machine in question doesn't have netbios over tcp/ip enabled (I'm guessing),
so my trusty nbtstat commands won't answer this question for me.  I noticed
at my new job that my groups local development server has a NETLOGON share.
It'd be odd for this server to be a DC, but that share sure is suspicious!
Let's assume that I have admin rights on my local machine but no other
machine on the network.

 

Thanks
