I'm not a huge expert on Windows NT, but couldn't you run the 'net' command from inside a perl script and simply process the output to get the desired result? Find some detailed info on the 'net' command: here. my @net_info = `net config`; # @net_info should contain lines of output # produced by the 'net config' command. # I hope they should contain work group info? while (@net_info) { # parse the line here... print "$_\n"; } [download] _____________________ `# Under Construction` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Perhaps that works on NT4 only?? For Win2K try: my @net_info = `net view`;	[reply]

You'll only get a list of workgroups (or domains) if you use 'net view /DOMAIN'. This works on Windows 2000.	[reply]
