Today, I quickly wanted to check to which AD site a IP belongs to. If I am the computer where that IP is assinged, it is wasy to find out this information. Since that computer is offline/not reachable, I need some other way.
After bit of googling, I came across below usage of dfsutil. I am very familiar with DFSUTIL but never focused much on the “/sitename” parameter.
So, here you go, if your computer IP is, 192.168.10.130 you know to which AD site it belongs by executing “dfsutil.exe /sitename:192.168.10.130” and outlook will display the site name.
C:>dfsutil /sitename:192.168.10.130
