David, you might be on to something here, this just gets stranger and stranger I've found that if you add a null string into the mix, it works on Win2K !

code:

break on

; This script displays your active directory domain name

$domain = getobject("WinNT://@LDOMAIN")

if $domain

  ?"name=" $domain.name       ; <--- this always worked on NT

  $name = $domain.name        ; <--- assign to variable

  ?"name=$name"               ; <--- this doesn't work ! (as before)

  $name = $domain.name+""     ; <--- do same but add null string !

  ?"domain name=$name"        ; <--- and now it works on NT

endif

exit

Shawn.
