PLEASE HELP

I have a list of server names and I need to determine their role or type, I did some homework yesterday and I found that using this;

Win32::Lanman::NetServerGetInfo($server, \%info, 1)

Will get me a lot of information but none of it refers to the type of the server (i.e. if it’s a PDC, BDC, DC, member server, SQL server, Exchange server, Notes server,.,..etc) I think so, although I am not sure.

Then I looked at NetServerEnum($server, $domain, $type, \@info) this won't fit my requirements because I have to specify that the type of server I am looking for.

I've searched few places that deals with perl still to no avail, I check Dave Roths books and other libraries such as AdminMisc and found almost every example or command deals with scanning a whole domain and retrieving a list of specific servers, I couldn't find anything anywhere that tests a server name for me and returns it type or Role, I have posted my question on PM and did not get any response, which leads me to think "Is this possible have I found something that Perl can't do at last"???

Your guidance is highly appreciated.

Many Thanks
