Mapping Computer to a Site 1

[NetIntruder]

All,

I'm working on what i thought would be a simple interface for our engineers to find all servers in a given AD site. I'm writing this in C# (though any language will do) and I cannot seem to find any attribute of a computer account that actually links it to a given site. Is there a way to do this that doesn't involve something like this:

Find all Computers
Resolve DNS
Link IP Address to site address
Map site to server

I want to keep the search as simple as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply Mark. This is helpful in some circumstances, but not exactly what I'm looking for. Quite honestly, I've googled my brains out on this one and dug through the ADSI properties of computer accounts and don't see anything fitting other than mapping the IP Address back to the site that the subnet belongs to.

Any other leads would be helpful, but I guess i may be stuck going down this path.

Thanks!

Yea, there isn't anything that gets modified to specify where a particlar PC is located unless you were to organize the location by OU as well. you could then easily query AD for the OU to know what site a PC is in.

I hope you find this post helpful.
