Getting current context information
You can examine ADEdit’s current context at any time using two different commands: the show
command and the get_bind_info
command.
The show
command returns all bindings and selected objects in the current context. For example:
>show Bindings: acme.com: calla.acme.com Current zone: CN=global,CN=Zones,CN=Centrify,CN=Program Data,DC=acme,DC=com Current nss user: adam.avery@acme.com:adam:10001:10001:%{u:samaccountname}:%{home}/%{user}:%{shell}:
You can use optional arguments to limit the information the show
command returns.
The get_bind_info
command returns information about a bound domain. When you use this command, you specify the information you want to retrieve, such as the domain’s forest, the name of the current domain controller, the domain’s security identifier (SID), the functional level of the domain, or the functional level of the domain’s forest. For example:
>get_bind_info acme.com server
adserve02.acme.com
In this case, ADEdit returns the name of the bound server
for the domain acme.com
.
