    does anyone know how to get a list of NT domains a computer is able to login to?
    not a complete list of domain controllers, something like what is presented to the user in a drop down list at the login screen (including the comptuer name)..i'd like to get the same list using some script/code.

    its possible the entries might be under registry key - not 100%
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DomainCache

    would this be it?

    ok, that appears to be where the list is kept/updated.

    another separate question is how to determine the domain each user profile belongs to?

    Found out that you can lookup the DOMAIN\USERNAME from the SID

    These are stored under :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    i don't know if there is some way to do it through command line or script, but i just wrote simple function below which does the lookup based on SID string.

    [PHP]// using a string SID, print the DOMAIN\USERNAME
    void print_userid(char *strSid)
    {
    char user[MAX_PATH], domain[MAX_PATH];
    DWORD sizeUser, sizeDomain;
    SID_NAME_USE snu;
    PSID sid;

    if(ConvertStringSidToSid(strSid,&sid))
    {
    sizeUser = sizeof(user);
    sizeDomain = sizeof(domain);

    if(LookupAccountSid( NULL, sid, user, &sizeUser,
    domain, &sizeDomain, &snu ) != 0)
    {
    printf("%s\\%s", domain, user);
    } else printf("LookupAccountSid() failed : %d",GetLastError());
    LocalFree(sid);
    } else printf("\nConvertStringSidToSid() failed : %d",GetLastError());
    }[/php]

    might be of use to someone.
