RE: [ActiveDir] How to determine which is the default site

Title: How to determine which is the default site

Not elegant, but fairly quick: take Robbie's script (http://www.rallenhome.com/books/adcookbook/src/11.02-list_sites.vbs.txt), add in objSite.WhenCreated to the output list, and write it out to a file. Then sort by date...

 

 

' This VBScript code lists all of the site objects.

Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8

 

wscript.echo "The script has started"

 

'Create the output file

set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE")
set objSitesCont = GetObject("LDAP://cn=sites," & _

objSitesCont.Filter = Array("site")
for each objSite in objSitesCont
   fileTxt.WriteLine(objSite.Get("cn") & VBTab & objSite.WhenCreated)
next
wscript.echo "Script finished"

Subject: [ActiveDir] How to determine which is the default site

At some point in the dim, dark past, the default site was renamed (I assume it was not removed!)

Does anyone have a quick and easy way to determine which of the existing sites was once the default site? [It has been suggested that I look at the create date for all the sites and that the oldest one will be the default site :) I have >100 sites so need something more elegant/quicker. ]

Any suggestions more than welcome.

Thanks,
neil
