Batch command to get FQDN of COMPUTER ala %userdnsdomain%

Hello,

I have the following batch file that calls up powershell, it works wonderfully. I now need to modify it to grab the computer FQDN instead of the user FDQN in the -Domain parameter.

How can I achieve this?

Powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -File C:\temp\gpo\source\2\import_gpos.ps1 -SomInfo -Domain %USERDNSDOMAIN% -backupfolder "C:\temp\gpo\source\2"

$objIPProperties = [System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPGlobalProperties]::GetIPGlobalProperties()

$computerFQDN="{0}.{1}" -f $objIPProperties.HostName, $objIPProperties.DomainName

Powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -File C:\temp\gpo\source\2\import_gpos.ps1 -SomInfo -Domain $computerFQDN -backupfolder "C:\temp\gpo\source\2"

Hi Wizard,

That's giving me errors:

$objlproperties is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

$ComputerFQDN is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('powershell "(gwmi WIN32_ComputerSystem).Domain"') do set var=%%a

Try this:

powershell -command "(gwmi WIN32_ComputerSystem).Domain" > myTmpFile
set /p PcFQDN= < myTmpFile
del /q myTmpFile

echo %PcFQDN%

Just modify your batch file to include this line
set FQDN=%computername%.%userdnsdomain%

Then your next line would be
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -File C:\temp\gpo\source\2\import_gpos.ps1 -SomInfo -Domain %FQDN% -backupfolder "C:\temp\gpo\source\2"

Perhaps you're right. I interpreted the question to mean that he wanted the FQDN of the computer (i.e. something like "computername.domain.com").

That is what he is after but based on his comment:

I now need to modify it to grab the computer FQDN instead of the user FDQN in the -Domain parameter.

I think he might have an environment where user and computer accounts are in separate domains, I might be wrong but that is the impression I get.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
