"logon server" gives "NA"

Question

On domain client computers where users use their domain IDs to log on, I used:

systeminfo | find /i "logon server"

I got "NA".

Why is that?

I was trying to apply a group policy and wanted to find out which domain controller had to receive the GP new configuration in order to apply it on those client computers.

Note: I don't use Azure. But that's the only tag I find.

Hello @Soar!

There is a Tag Windows Server for you but lets take this !

The "NA" response from the systeminfo | find /i "logon server" command on a domain client computer typically indicates that the computer is not currently connected to a domain controller.

When a computer is joined to a domain, it must communicate with a domain controller in order to authenticate user logons and access domain resources. The domain controller is responsible for issuing security tokens to the client computer, which are used to validate user credentials and authorize access to domain resources.

If the systeminfo command is not returning a logon server for the domain, it may be because the computer is currently disconnected from the domain or unable to communicate with a domain controller. You can check the network connection to the domain controller by pinging it from the command prompt using the IP address or hostname of the domain controller.

If the ping is successful, try resetting the computer's secure channel with the domain controller by running the command nltest /sc_reset:<domain_name> with administrative privileges. If the ping fails, check the network connection between the client computer and the domain controller.

I hope this helps!
