Does anyone know how to get user's domain? I mean Windows domain, not internet domain.
Thank you

Hello NSFIS,
You can obtain the value, by obtaining and manipulating the data from the following command. Just run it in a dos box. Should work on any version of Windows.
c:\>net config workstation
It will return something similar to:
Computer name \\ZIMSMSXP
Full Computer name ZIMSMSXP.MyDomain.acme.com
User name ZIMSMS
Workstation active on
NetbiosSmb (000000000000)
NetBT_Tcpip_{GUID} (ID)
Software version Windows 2002
Workstation domain MyDomain
Workstation Domain DNS Name MyDomain.acme.com
Logon domain MyDomain
COM Open Timeout (sec) 0
COM Send Count (byte) 16
COM Send Timeout (msec) 250
The command completed successfully.
Obviously the value you want to obtain is "Workstation Domain".
Cheers,
zimsms

zimsms,
thank you for your tip, but this method is language dependent - international Windows versions provide this listing in different languages.
I searched the registry and found my domain in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultDomainName, but I am not sure if it is the right way.

Ahh, I forgot about those pesky language issues, with shell commands. That key should work, as long as, every OS has that key.
