To list all DCs in a domain, you can use netdom, dsquery, or adfind as follows:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt; netdom query dc /Domain:&lt;DomainDNSName&gt;<br />

It's ok, I was just letting you know.

Joe is correct with his solution, but I think if I read the question correctly, the original poster was looking for a quick solution to find one DC. While netdom will give a list of all of them, that may be more than what the OP really needed.

Does anyone know how to find out which computer is the domain controller. &nbsp;I remoted into a network, and they have several servers, and I went to the one he told me thought it was on, and I didn't see it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How would I find out which server its on without having to remote into each server to see if it is there. &nbsp;<br />

Find Active Directory

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
