How can I find the domain of a samba server?

Question

How can I determine the domain of a remote samba server from the command line?

Answer 1

The output of smbclient -L remote-server contains the domain; the linked page shows an example:

smbclient -L zimmerman

The output of this command should look something like this:

 Server time is Sat Aug 10 15:58:27 1996
Timezone is UTC+10.0
Password: 
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows NT 3.51] Server=[NT LAN Manager 3.51]

Server=[ZIMMERMAN] User=[] Workgroup=[WORKGROUP] Domain=[]

This machine has a browse list:
