Find domain name from command line
by Srini
We can find the domain name of a computer by running the following commnad from command line.
systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"Domain"
We can find the logged in user’s domain by using the environment variable ‘USERDOMAIN’. Command for this is given below.
echo %userdomain%
Note that the value in %USERDOMAIN% may not be the same as the one returned by systeminfo command. %USERDOMAIN% gives the domain name the user account belongs to, it could be different from the domain of the computer. Also, this may give you the NetBios name of the computer, not DNS/FQDN name.
Alternatively, we can use WMIC to retrieve domain name.
wmic computersystem get domain

All the above commands work on Windows 7. WMIC one may/may not work depending on whether the edition of win7 you have supports it or not.

The systeminfo command given in this post works on Windows 7 also. I think copying the command from this page had some problem and it did not work. Have corrected it. It should work now.

systeminfo | findstr Domain
I see no reason for the /b /c:” “

/C may not be required. /b is required to avoid matches with the values for other fields of systeminfo command.

Thanks for this! I needed to pull the domain for a powershell script for use on servers that didn’t have the ActiveDirectory module (and I wasn’t going to install it).
This enabled me to grab the domain, then trim out the header and return in Powershell for my variable.
Thanks again!

Can someone please guide me on how to obtain the domain name of the servers remotely. I need to get the domain name for hunderds of servers.
Is there a way to create a CSV file with the server names and create a batch file and run it to obtain this information?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

It means that your computer is not part of a domain but a workgroup. All the home computers are part of a workgroup.
