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.

Subject: [windows2000] Is server a domain controller? 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
