http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1124390 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1124390#c1 --- Comment #1 from David Mulder --- We can fetch the value using samba-python and yast-python-bindings instead. The old lookup was manually parsed from this output: linux-0bgx:~ # net -s /tmp/YaST2-15437-1BbCdw/dummy-smb.conf ads lookup -S WIN-DW0OHW3XQB9.froggy.suse.de Information for Domain Controller: 151.155.147.232 Response Type: LOGON_SAM_LOGON_RESPONSE_EX GUID: 5ebac161-2771-4658-9fad-73bd331d130e Flags: Is a PDC: yes Is a GC of the forest: yes Is an LDAP server: yes Supports DS: yes Is running a KDC: yes Is running time services: yes Is the closest DC: yes Is writable: yes Has a hardware clock: yes Is a non-domain NC serviced by LDAP server: no Is NT6 DC that has some secrets: no Is NT6 DC that has all secrets: yes Runs Active Directory Web Services: no Runs on Windows 2012 or later: no Forest: froggy.suse.de Domain: froggy.suse.de Domain Controller: WIN-DW0OHW3XQB9.froggy.suse.de Pre-Win2k Domain: FROGGY Pre-Win2k Hostname: WIN-DW0OHW3XQB9 Server Site Name: Default-First-Site-Name Client Site Name: Default-First-Site-Name NT Version: 5 LMNT Token: ffff LM20 Token: ffff We can instead get the same data using the python bindings:

from samba.net import Net from samba.credentials import Credentials from samba.dcerpc import nbt net = Net(Credentials()) workgroup = 'froggy.suse.de' cldap_ret = net.finddc(domain=workgroup, flags=(nbt.NBT_SERVER_LDAP | nbt.NBT_SERVER_DS)) cldap_ret cldap_ret.domain_name 'FROGGY' cldap_ret.pdc_dns_name 'WIN-DW0OHW3XQB9.froggy.suse.de'

Notice it's making exactly the same network call, but now we don't have to parse the results. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
