GetComputerNameEx problem

[HoM]

Hi All,

I am searching code to find out the fully qualified computername like

compi.subdomain.domain.corp

of a) the local computer and
b) a computer, which computer name (not fully qualified) I know.

I tried the following code to solve a), but it only gives me the computername, no matter which switch I use in GetComputerNameEx.

If I display the computer proberties, a domain name ( smthg.corp) is displayed and in the tcpip parameters I can also read a domain. But they are different (the latter one is location.smthg.corp).

So: what exactly is the fqdn and how do I get it?

thanks in advance,
HoM

		DWORD dwSize = sizeof( szBuf);
		GetComputerNameEx( ComputerNameDnsDomain, szBuf, &dwSize );
		cout << _T("ComputerNameDnsDomain                 :") << szBuf << endl;
		szBuf [0] =0;
		dwSize = sizeof( szBuf);
		GetComputerNameEx( ComputerNameDnsFullyQualified, szBuf, &dwSize);
		cout << _T("ComputerNameDnsFullyQualified         :") << szBuf << endl;
		szBuf [0] =0;
		dwSize = sizeof( szBuf);
		GetComputerNameEx( ComputerNameDnsHostname, szBuf, &dwSize );
		cout << _T("ComputerNameDnsHostname               :") << szBuf << endl;
		szBuf [0] =0;
		dwSize = sizeof( szBuf);
		GetComputerNameEx( ComputerNameNetBIOS, szBuf, &dwSize );
		cout << _T("ComputerNameNetBIOS                   :") << szBuf << endl;

		getchar();

Can someone move this to the networking area? Maybe somebody there could help ...

Look up EzAdScriptomatic by the MSGuys. It writes AD scripts. just like Scriptomatic2 writes VBS scripts for non-AD systems.

?? Has this anything to do with the GetComputerNameEx Windows API ?
