Win32_NTDomain Class (Windows)

Win32_NTDomain Class

Win32_NTDomain Class

The Win32_NTDomain WMI class represents a Windows NT domain.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties and methods are in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Methods

The Win32_NTDomain class does not define any methods.

Properties

The Win32_NTDomain class defines the following properties.

Caption

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen(64)

Short description of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

ClientSiteName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name of the site where the domain controller is configured. This value can be NULL.

CreationClassName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name of the first concrete class in the inheritance chain that is used to create an instance. Use this property with other properties of the class to identify all of the instances of the class and its subclasses. This property is inherited from CIM_System.

DcSiteName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name of the site where the domain controller is located. This value can be NULL.

Description

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Comment that describes the link. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

DNSForestName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name of the root of the DNS tree.

DomainControllerAddress

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Address of the discovered domain controller.

DomainControllerAddressType

Data type: sint32
Access type: Read-only

Type of address specified in the DomainControllerAddress property.

Value	Meaning
1	DNS_INET_ADDRESS
2	DNS_NETBIOS_ADDRESS

DomainControllerName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Computer name for the discovered domain controller.

DomainGUID

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Globally unique identifier (GUID) of the domain controller. This property is 0 (zero) if the domain controller does not have a GUID.

DomainName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name of the domain.

Example: microsoft.com

DSDirectoryServiceFlag

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the domain controller is a directory service server.

DSDnsControllerFlag

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the Domain Controller Name is in DNS format.

Example: www.mynode.com or 135.5.33.19

DSDnsDomainFlag

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the DomainName value is in DNS format.

DSDnsForestFlag

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the DNSForestName value is in Domain Name System (DNS) format.

DSGlobalCatalogFlag

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the domain controller is a Global Catalog server for the DNSForestName value.

DSKerberosDistributionCenterFlag

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the domain controller is a Kerberos Key Distribution Center for the domain.

DSPrimaryDomainControllerFlag

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the domain controller is the Primary Domain Controller.

DSTimeServiceFlag

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the domain is running the Windows Time service.

DSWritableFlag

Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only

If TRUE, the domain controller hosts a writeable DS or security accounts manager (SAM).

InstallDate

Data type: datetime
Access type: Read-only

Date and time an object is installed. An object does not require a value to indicate that it is installed. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Name

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Key

Name of an object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

NameFormat

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Format to generate the system name—using the subclass heuristic. This property is inherited from CIM_System.

PrimaryOwnerContact

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Contact information for the primary system owner. This property is inherited from CIM_System.

PrimaryOwnerName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen(64)

Name of the primary system owner. This property is inherited from CIM_System.

Roles

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

An array of strings that specify the roles the computer system plays in the IT environment. Values are defined by the IT environment in which the computer system resides. For example, for an instance of a networking system, this property might contain the string, "Switch" or "Bridge". This property is inherited from CIM_System.

Status

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen(10)

Current status of an object. Various operational and nonoperational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses include: OK, Degraded, and Pred Fail, which is an element such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive that may be functioning properly, but predicts a failure in the near future. Nonoperational statuses include: Error, Starting, Stopping, and Service, which can apply during mirror resilvering of a disk, reloading a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all status work is online, but the managed element is not OK or in one of the other states. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

The values are:

"OK"
"Error"
"Degraded"
"Unknown"
"Pred Fail"
"Starting"
"Stopping"
"Service"
"Stressed"
"NonRecover"
"No Contact"
"Lost Comm"

Remarks

The Win32_NTDomain class is derived from CIM_System. You can use this class to list all of the domains that can be discovered from the local computer. However, the number of domains that the provider can discover is limited by permissions, trust relationships, and network latency. To discover to which domain a particular computer belongs, you can query the Win32_ComputerSystem instance on that computer, and then check the Domain property.
