in vbscript, i did :

set oroot = getobject("LDAP://rootdse")
set odomain = getobject("LDAP://" & oroot.get("defaultnamingcontext"))


In powershell, i hard-code $strBase = "<LDAP://dc=xxx,dc=com>"

Does powershell have the equivalent of what i stated above for vbscript ?

$ad = [adsi]"LDAP://rootdse"
$ad.defaultNamingContext

PS C:\Scripts> $ad | gm | select name

Name
----
configurationNamingContext
currentTime
defaultNamingContext
dnsHostName
domainControllerFunctionality
domainFunctionality
dsServiceName
forestFunctionality
highestCommittedUSN
isGlobalCatalogReady
isSynchronized
ldapServiceName
namingContexts
rootDomainNamingContext
schemaNamingContext
