Thanks Del for the fast answer.
But I think that's not that easy.
After a closer look, it seems to me, that it isn't possible to follow the
NetBIOS-domainname from the DNS-domainname how you described, especially not in
"upgraded" domains. There are domains out there, where the NetBIOS-/pre-win 2000
domainname has nothing in common with the DNS-domainname.
What do the others think?
