VM Connected to a Domain

Question

I'm working with an automated tool that deploys VMs to center. It is setup within the customspec to be connected to a domain [windows]. After the VM is clone, we get a success state from VMWare that the VM is ready, however... it tends to be the case that the VM isn't finished being configured. [And thusly not on the domain]

Is there anyway, CLI based, to confirm that the VM being deployed is connected to a domain?

Orchestrator has an Active Directory plugin, I don't know it or use it but there's a chance you might be able to do a check via that as part of a deployment workflow.

dsquery computer -name $HOSTNAME

will let you know if the computer account exists in the domain for $HOSTNAME.

Where would that be run on? I have access to the machine it's self... but I don't have the information if it is on a specific domain or not – monksy Aug 14 '13 at 18:11
This can be run on any machine that is a member of the domain in question. – mfinni Aug 14 '13 at 18:54
