Need to view domain structure

[-=gu=-]

Hello,
My company has a client who is either not forthcoming
about their domain structure, or does not have the
inhouse experience to understand it.
In either case, we can vpn into their server as a domain
user and log on to one of their member servers. I need a
way to view what their domain structure looks like.
We have installed an application which should be able to
access their ad and authenticate their users to the app.
One of their domains holds users that we can not get to
authenticate to our app and have spent 40+ man hours
attempting to make it work. I'm starting to believe that
this domain isn't in the the same tree.
I can ftp files over to that server, so reskit apps
should work. Sounds like it would be ez to do, but I'm
having a brain cramp trying to figure out how to get this
information. Thanks!

I hope you have the necessary disclaimers in your contract...

Do you have a privileged domain account, or is it just a normal user or
guest? Can you run MMC and add the active directory snapins?
