Subject: Finding Domains in the GC
I answered my own question. I thought it best to share it with the
group. Querying a Global Catalog for list of domain names is easy if
each domain is a child domain. Get the default context and walk the
tree... The problem I had is that can exist peer domains. These are
not viewable through the structure or rootdse record. The solution is a
fairly simple query:
base=""
objectclass=trusteddomain
attrib=cn
Each object will be a domain name inside the forest. From the cn
attribute it's possible to guess the context of each domain
(test.root.com = dc=test,dc=root,dc=com).
I hope this helps someone!
