    WhoamI.exe question

    Okay, so I'm preparing a tutorial on windows shortcut key's and built-in command prompt programs but I have a little question. While using the whoami command, under the [Group 1] section I get a Domain \none result. Does this mean that I am not member of the domain or what? I can only guess. I searched google and the MS knowledgebase and I'm still confused.

    its means that the computer is not part of the domain... was the computer you were running this on part of a domain?
    Everyone is going to die, I am just as good of a reason as any.

    Well the computer i ran it on a few minutes ago was not part of a domain. However this morning I was fooling around in a computer store with a computer that should be on a domain but I got the same thing. I guess I'll have to go back to the store and ask them.

    Whoami Displays the CURRENT username and domain.

    Displays the complete contents of the access token in the command window. Displays the user name and security identifier (SID), the group names, types, attributes and their SIDs, the

    WHOAMI 2.0 @1997. Written by Christophe Robert(chrisrob@microsoft.com).

    WHOAMI [/option] [/option] ...

    Where /option is one of the following:

    /ALL = Display all information in the current access token.
    /NOVERBOSE = Display minimal information. *
    /USER = Display user.
    /GROUPS = Display groups.
    /PRIV = Display privileges.
    /LOGONID = Display Logon ID.
    /SID = Display SIDs. *
    /HELP = Display help.

    * Must be used with option /USER, /GROUPS, /PRIV or/LOGONID

    Samples are as follows:

    WHOAMI
    WHOAMI /ALL
    WHOAMI /USER /SID
    WHOAMI /GROUPS
    WHOAMI /GROUPS /NOVERBOSE
    WHOAMI /USER /GROUPS /SID
    WHOAMI /PRIV /NOVERBOSE
    WHOAMI /USER /GROUPS /PRIV
    WHOAMI /HELP

    If it displays only %USERNAME% then you are not logged onto the pc with a domain account.

    Here is a thought... right click on "My Computer", go to properties, then network identification and see for yourself. You will either be in a workgroup, or a domain... and it sounds like a workgroup.

    You can also use the little built in windows help file about whoami, or if you are too cool for that, try google.com

    As stated, it means the machine is NOT a member of a domain.
