What is my Active Directory site?

Is there a quick way to discover what Active Directory site the current server you are logged into is? I googled but couldn't find anything.

windows-server-2003 active-directory

    Sites are determined by subnet in CIDR notation in the Sites and Services snap-in. You could just take a screenshot of the configuration and by your IP address, determine what site it should be in. Now, if you're looking for a command that shows the CURRENT site try the gpresult command line tool. I'm almost positive that will print it out for you.

  2. Run the following in an administrator command prompt:

    gpresult  /R /Scope Computer

    Example output:

    C:\Windows\system32>gpresult  /R /Scope Computer

    You'll get a listing of USERDOMAIN and USERDNSDOMAIN.
