i have two differtent  domain let say abc.com and other is edf.com.

now on abc domain

I want search computer if it is in domain or not using dsquery

when i run the command

dsquery computer domaninroot -name corporate01

the output comes

but problem happens when I search some computers in edf domain from the same server



what is the exact dsquery command to run

Try with -d edf.com. By default the tool use the %logonserver%, thus the domain you are logged on with your user account.

You have specified "domainroot" in your command, which will force your search starts at your current domain root. Probably, try to use "forestroot" instead, dsquery search will use the global catalog then.
 
Or as Philippe suggested above, use -d parameter to connect to a different domain.

In order to avoid confusion and keep track of troubleshooting steps, we usually troubleshoot one issue per thread in order to find a resolution efficiently. So I'd suggest we create a new post.
