Query DNS Suffix for this Connection

[litog]

Hello,

I am attempting to query all computers with a specific role or OS Name, and look for a value to see if its in it then report it. For example I want to search all VISTA computers for "domain.net" in the "DNS suffix for this connection" field. This isn't the Suffix search order. I found the correct wmi object and it's called "DNSDomain". I've put this script together but it doesn't seem to be correct.

$servers = Get-QADComputer -OSName "*2000*"

each ($servers in $dns) {

$dns = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterconfiguration | { $_.'DNSDomain' -icontains "domain.com"}
}

Does something stand out to anyone on what I have wrong?

Thanks

You don't need to quote the property name, although that shouldn't make a difference. What doesn't seem to work? Are you getting no values? I would first make sure I'm getting results then filter.I can see that your syntax is a little foobar as well.$servers = Get-QADComputer -OSName "*2000*"

foreach ($server in $servers) {

Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterconfiguration -computer $server -filter "DNSDomain='domain.com'"}
}

Ouch.

I ran get-wmiobject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration DNSDomain and did get results. It listed all the network adapter and I did find the adapter with the domain.com suffix, but when I add the filter

get-wmiobject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -filter "DNSDomain='domain.com'"

it just sits at a >> prompt. I tried several different combinations but just receive an Invalid Query error.

The >> means PowerShell's parser is expecting more to complete the command like a closing } or ". What you've pasted works for me. If you still get errors, paste more of your actual command.

I must have typed something wrong earlier because I tried it again copy and paste and when I added the filter I was able to get further.
Here is the script exactlyl as I have it;

$servers = Get-QADComputer -OSName "*2000*"

foreach ($server in $servers) {

Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapterconfiguration -computer $server -filter "DNSDomain='neto'"
}

Notice that the domain name is a just neto since at one point it was a single lable domain name. That's been changed and there were some manual entries in this field that I want to get rid of, hence the script. When I run this I get the following error;


Invalid parameter
At :line:5 char:13
+ Get-WmiObject <<<< Win32_NetworkAdapterconfiguration -computer $server -filter "DNSDomain='neto'"

You need to get to the Name property of the $server object. Use $($server.name) instead of just $server in your WMI command

Perfect. That worked, thanks to all of you.

Is there a way to have it continue if it gets an access denied message? Right now if stops.

Thanks

add this to your Get-WMIObject expression:-ea "SilentlyContinue"
