Title: How to determine which is the default site

Why?

 

Nothing I have seen in my experience would seem to indicate anything special about that first site, in fact my home test lab has been running with that first site deleted for some time now and I am running with other sites.

 

Someone mentioned looking at the GUIDs. GUIDs are not sequential, they are semi-randomly created, see MSDN for the algorithm. Trying to divine order from them would be fruitless.

 

Here would be a simple command line to find the oldest site

 

adfind -config -f objectcategory=site whencreated -sort whencreated -maxe 1

 

 

This would look at the config container, find all site objects, sort them by whenCreated, then return the DN and whenCreated attribute for the first one.

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
