in reply to Get Domain Controller

My interpretation, from the way the question is phrased, is that you are looking for the DC that logged you in.

That info is in the environment variable "LOGONSERVER". in perl, you can get the info by querying

$ENV{LOGONSERVER}
In case you are looking for more generic info on how to find all DC's for a domain, here is my code for that:
use strict; use Net::DNS; use Win32::OLE; # Specify the domain name on the command line # or use the default. my $domain = $ARGV[0] || 'YourDomainName.com'; print "====Querying for Domain Controllers in $domain====\n"; my %dcinfo = DNS_SRV_Query($domain, "_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs"); while (my ($n,$IP) = each %dcinfo){ print " DC: $n [$IP]\n"; } my $forest = $ARGV[0] || 'YourForestName.com'; print "====Querying for Global Catalog servers in $forest====\n"; %dcinfo = DNS_SRV_Query($forest, "_ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs"); while (my ($n,$IP) = each %dcinfo){ print " GC: $n [$IP]\n"; } print "====Querying FSMO, Infrastrasturcture master servers in $domain +====\n"; FSMO_Query($domain); ########################## sub DNS_SRV_Query{ my ($name,$DNSPrefix) = @_; my %results; my $DNS = Net::DNS::Resolver->new(); my $query = $DNS->search("$DNSPrefix.$domain", "SRV") or die "DNS SRV query ($DNSPrefix.$domain) failed: ", $DNS->errors +tring, "\n"; foreach my $rr ($query->answer) { next unless $rr->type eq "SRV"; my $query2 = $DNS->search($rr->target, "A"); if ($query2) { foreach my $rr2 ($query2->answer) { next unless $rr2->type eq "A"; $results{$rr->target} .= $rr2->address .
