Need to List DFS Data From Active Directory

[djtech2k]

I need to dump out Distributed File System data from LDAP queries with VBScript. If memory serves me correct, there is DFS data stored in AD in some attributes/objects. I need to be able to run 1 script in 1 place that will identify all the namespaces and other relevant data for an enterprise, so looking at WMI on the servers is not an option. Unfortunately, I do nto have access to adsiedit to even look at the environment right now, so i am reaching out for help.

Any of you have any vbscript code laying around to find DFS data from AD? What classes/objects/attributes hold any DFS data in AD?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you considered maybe using dfsutil?

dfsutil /domain:yourdomain /view

Shows you the roots

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windo...694d-49ea-981e-34bdadd1a9311033.mspx?mfr=true

probably run that command to get the roots and then use the other commands to get the target servers for each of the links under that root.

I did think about that, but because of issues in the environment, I am not sure that use of dfsutil will be allowed.

I know its weird, but it may be that way.
