How to tell when a computer was joined to the domain?

[Guest Andrew Meador - ASCPA, MCSE, MCP+I, Network+, A+]

That's it.. just looking to see if anyone knows how to tell when a

particular computer was joined to a domain. I have a computer that was

joined to a domain probably close to 9 months ago, but now I need to

verify exactly when. Oh, I need to do this on the server - I don't

have access to the computer that joined the domain to verify this

info.

 

Thanks in advance!

Re: How to tell when a computer was joined to the domain?

 

As noted in the link, if the computer object was created in the domain when

the computer was joined to the domain (not created ahead of time), the

whenCreated attribute value will be the date the computer joined. In a

VBScript, bind to the computer object and retrieve whenCreated. Or, use a

command line tool.

 

Set objComputer =

GetObject("LDAP://cn=MyComputer,ou=Sales,dc=MyDomain,dc=com")

Wscript.Echo objComputer.whenCreated

Re: How to tell when a computer was joined to the domain?

 

I have tried tweaking with the script below, but have not suceeded

in making it work. The computer name I'm trying to access is

Computer13. I assume I substitute this in place of MyComputer. The

internal domain name is what follows the first dc? The second dc is

always dc=com? The last issue is what to use for the ou. The computer

is in a tree of ou's on under the other - do I use the whole tree

structure, or the lowest level ou it is in? If I use the whole tree

structure, how do I write it... Computers.Tampa.Office3.General

Desktops

 

Please clarify - I'm not very familiar with scripting.

 

I have saved this in a text file called test.vbs and am double-

clicking on it from Exporer - is this the right way to go about it?

 

Thanks for your input.

Re: How to tell when a computer was joined to the domain?

 

You can double click on a *.vbs file, and it will be run with whatever host

program has been configured as the default on your computer, either

cscript.exe or wscript.exe. I think wscript is usually the default. When you

run a script with wscript, any Wscript.Echo statements result in a dialog

box displaying the values. If you run the script with cscript the program

runs in a command window. I generally run administrative VBScript programs

at a command prompt with the cscript host. This way I see the output at the

console, including error messages. For example, if the program is saved in a

file called example.vbs, I run it at a command prompt with the command:

 

cscript example.vbs

 

this assumes I have navigated to the folder where the file example.vbs is

saved. Otherwise, I must specify the path. If I want to redirect output to a

text file (so it doesn't scroll off the screen and I can view the output in

notepad), I use the //nologo optional parameter to suppress the logo

information. For example:

 

cscript //nologo example.vbs > report.txt

 

To bind to an object with the LDAP provider you need the Distinguished Name

(DN) of the object. This uniquely identifies the object and shows its

location in the hierarchy of Active Directory. The computer with DN:

 

cn=MyComputer,ou=Sales,dc=MyDomain,dc=com

 

has Common Name "MyComputer". It is in the OU called "Sales", which is in

the domain with DNS name MyDomain.com. Another domain might be

MyDivision.MyCompany.net. Most likely, the NetBIOS name of this computer

(the NT name, or "pre-Windows 2000 name") is "MyComputer", but that does not

have to be true. If you know the NetBIOS name of a computer, you can use the

NameTranslate object to convert this (in combination with the NetBIOS name

of the domain) to the DN of the computer required by the LDAP provider.

 

In a similar way, the NetBIOS name of the domain in my example is most

likely "MyDomain", but again this might not be true. Fortunately, you can

retrieve the DNS name of the domain from the RootDSE object and user the

NameTranslate object to convert this to the NetBIOS name of the domain. For

example:

=====================

' Constants for the NameTranslate object.

Const ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC = 3

Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 = 3

Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 = 1

 

' Specify the NetBIOS name of the computer.

strComputer = "WEST1003"

 

' Determine DNS name of domain from RootDSE.

Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")

strDNSDomain = objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext")

 

' Use the NameTranslate object to find the NetBIOS domain name from the

' DNS domain name.

Set objTrans = CreateObject("NameTranslate")

' Initialize NameTranslate by locating the Global Catalog.

objTrans.Init ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC, ""

' Use the Set method to specify the DNS format of the object name.

objTrans.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779, strDNSDomain

' Use the Get method to retrieve the NetBIOS name.

strNetBIOSDomain = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4)

' Remove trailing backslash.

strNetBIOSDomain = Left(strNetBIOSDomain, Len(strNetBIOSDomain) - 1)

 

 

' Use the NameTranslate object to convert the NetBIOS name of the

' computer to the Distinguished Name required for the LDAP provider.

' Use the Set method to specify the NT format of the object name.

objTrans.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, strNetBIOSDomain & "\" & strComputer

' Use the Get method to retrieve the RPC 1779 Distinguished Name.

strComputerDN = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779)

 

' Bind to the computer object in Active Directory with the LDAP provider.

Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & strComputerDN)

 

 

 

' Display whenCreated date, which should be the date when the computer

 

' joined the domain.

 

Wscript.Echo objComputer.whenCreated

 

============

 

The above is the most generic way, retrieving as much as possible

programmatically. The only thing we cannot retrieve, which you must supply,

is the NetBIOS name of the computer. If you are familiar with Distinguished

Names, and know the DN for a computer, you use it to bind to the computer

object immediately. The DN's take getting used to.

Re: How to tell when a computer was joined to the domain?

 

Thank you very much for this detailed response! I think we're

almost there, but now I have another problem. When I run the script

below, I am getting the following error: "Name Translation: Could not

find the name or insufficient right to see the name. Error Number:

80072116 Source: (null)" for the line that says "objTrans.Set

ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, strNetBIOSDomain & "\" & strComputer". I put

Wscript.Echo cammands before this point and the strNetBIOSDomain and

strComputer items seem right (and I did change WEST1003 to COMPUTER13)

 

There is an issue listed at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317982#appliesto

that seems to indicate that this is a known bug with having the '\'

character in the text being used in the set method, but there is no

solution. Maybe this is a different issue, but I thought I'd at least

bring it up. The only thing that doesn't make sense is the fact that I

am running this on a Window Small Business Server 2003 system. The

article says this applies to 2000, but says nothing of 2003. So what

to do now?

Re: How to tell when a computer was joined to the domain?

 

Script method is all fine, but if your having problems with that,

simply look at the "objectcreated" attribute in ADSIEDIT.

 

If your having trouble with the script, and this is a once off - this

may be quicker.

[Guest Andrew Meador - ASCPA, MCSE, MCP+I, Network+, A+]

Re: How to tell when a computer was joined to the domain?

 

Thanks! That finished it off. I don't doubt that the script should

be fine - but it gives the exact error that is in the listed Microsoft

KB article. "Computer13" is the netBIOS name for the computer in

question - in fact here is the final distinguished name I pulled from

ADSIEDIT:

 

CN=Computer13,OU=General

Desktops,OU=SBSComputers,OU=Computers,OU=MyBusiness,DC=<removed for

posting>,DC=local

 

So, being that all I had to do was plug in the computer name in the

variable at the top of the script, there was nothing for me to mess-up

on.

 

Anyway - I have found what I was looking for thanks to you guys! I

appreciate the help.

 

We can continue to discuss the reason for the script not working

for me, but I can take is to a scripting group since that is really

now where this post is going since my original problem has been

solved. Either way is fine.

 

Again, thanks!

Re: How to tell when a computer was joined to the domain?

 

The error you described is raised when the Set method cannot find the object

specified. With ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 the object name needs to be in the form:

 

Domain\ObjectName

 

where "Domain" is the NetBIOS name of the domain and "ObjectName" is the

NetBIOS name of the object. In you case, since the Common Name is

"Computer13", I would expect the NetBIOS name to be "Computer13", but this

does not have to be the case. Notice that when I retrieve the NetBIOS name

of the domain in the code, I stripped of the trailing backslash. I could

have left this on, but I always use this code to retrieve the NetBIOS domain

name. Then I need to append the "\" in the string I pass to the Set method

of the NameTranslate object. If you added:

 

Wscript.Echo strNetBIOSDomain

Wscript.Echo strComputer

 

You should have seen something like:

 

MyDomain

Computer13

 

Neither value should have had a backslash. If all appears fine, then the

only explanation I am aware of is that the NetBIOS name of the computer is

not Computer13.

 

One way to tell for sure is to use NameTranslate to convert the DN back to

the NT form of the name. From ADSI Edit, you know the DN of the object. The

code would be very similar:

===============

' Constants for the NameTranslate object.

 

Const ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC = 3

Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 = 3

Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 = 1

 

' Specify the Distinguished Name of the computer.

 

' Watch line wrapping, this is one line.

 

strComputerDN = CN=Computer13,OU=General

Desktops,OU=SBSComputers,OU=Computers,OU=MyBusiness,DC=<removed for

posting>,DC=local"

 

 

 

' Use the NameTranslate object to convert the Distinguished Name

 

' of the object to the NetBIOS name.

 

Set objTrans = CreateObject("NameTranslate")

 

' Initialize NameTranslate by locating the Global Catalog.

objTrans.Init ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC, ""

' Use the Set method to specify the RPC 1779 format of the object name.

objTrans.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779, strComputerDN

 

' Use the Get method to retrieve the NT Name.

strNTName = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4)

 

Wscript.Echo strNTName

 

==============

 

The output should be similar to:

 

 

 

Domain\Computer13
