How can I tell which Domain controller I'm authenticated to?

Question

How can I tell which Domain controller I'm authenticated to? Is there a way to do this without local admin?

Answer 1

You can find this through the following command:

echo %LOGONSERVER%

And you don't have to be admin or poweruser to use it. Have a look at the output of this command:

set

Answer 2

The %LOGONSERVER% environmental variable.

echo.%LOGONSERVER%

---

update

Actually, that variable does not seem to exist when I log into an domain account. I'll update my answer if I figure out why.

Answer 3

This only answers your question if you have Outlook:

I found an interesting feature in Outlook. If you hold Ctrl and right click the icon in the task bar then click connection status it shows you the exchange server your connected to as well as what domain controller you are connected to. I actually found that one answering another question about Exchange connections, great way to recycle answers...

Answer 4

use SET l (that's a letter L not a number 1)
