Issue
I want to retrieve the FQDN name of windows server via powershell script. I have found 2 solution so far:
$server = Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {hostname}
Above line will print just the short name of the server
$sysinfo = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem
$server = “{0}.{1}” -f $sysinfo.Name, $sysinfo.Domain
Above two line will get me the FQDN but this looks really nasty code to retrieve just the hostname 🙁
So, My question is, is there an easier way to get the FQDN in powershell. I am a bash/perl coder and recently picked up powershell.. so finding it difficult.
Thanks.
Solution
How about: "$env:computername.$env:userdnsdomain"
This actually only works if the user is logged into a domain (i.e. no local accounts), logged into the same domain as the server, and doesn’t work with disjointed name space AD configurations.
Use this as referenced in another answer:
$myFQDN=(Get-WmiObject win32_computersystem).DNSHostName+"."+(Get-WmiObject win32_computersystem).Domain ; Write-Host $myFQDN
