Vista - NameTranslate help.

Hello scripting gurus.

I need your help.

I am working on a script which I need to query the domain name, I have got
that part working.

Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
strDomain = objRootDSE.Get("DefaultNamingContext")

My problem comes, that the value it returns is in the Distinguished name
format "DC=domain,DC=root" and I need it in the form of "domain.root"

I understand that NameTranslate can be used to do this and store it on a
variable, but either I'm being thick or it's beyond my capacity, I haven't
managed to get it to work.

I would appreciate your help with this, if there is a better way of doing
this in a vbscript please let me know.

Thanks.

Well after more research I found what i need.

This two lines of code get me the result I want.

Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
WScript.Echo objADSysInfo.DomainDNSName

Thanks everyone!

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your reply.

The truth is I've been there at the NameTranlsate FAQ site, before I came
here for help, to be honest I couldn't work it out how to use it. I
understand it's a powerful tool which I may come back and use it in the
future. But now I've found a solution which is simpler and more pratical for
what I need. Therefore I shouldn't complicate it.

Thanks again.
