Our TAM has been beating using nltest instead of "set l" into our heads for
almost two years now.  The set command echoes a variable that is set at
startup and doesn't change when your authenticating server changes.  

The only problem with using nltest with the /sc_query option is that it also
checks a cached value.  If you truly want to determine which DC is currently
authenticating a PC, you should use the /sc_reset option of nltest.  This
will reset the secure channel between the workstation and the DC and report
the status of the secure channel.

Hi Christine

This will show you the secure channel for given machine:

nltest /sc_query:<domain> /server:<server_name>

Sorry, I'm have a brain hiccup.  Does anyone know the command line utility
that tells you which dc authenticates you?
