Hi


It is the Site name that is associated with the IP sub-net that the computer is placed in (Sites are e.g. defined and
displayed using "Active Directory Sites and Services" in "Administrative Tools".


Here is a VBScript that displays the Site name for the computer it is run on:

Set oADsSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Wscript.Echo "Location (Site name): " & oADsSysInfo.SiteName
