Re: Computernames from AD without curly braces ??

other options you can use:

## get all domain dc's
$dom = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::getcurrentdomain()
$dom.DomainControllers | select Name

## this will get the all dc's in the forest (same as the next one below)
## $dom.forest.domains | select -expand DomainControllers | select name,domain


## get all forest dc's
$forest = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::GetCurrentForest()
$forest.domains | select -expand domainControllers | select name,domain
