Using client PC to find the functnl level of my log-in AD domain

Using Windows XP service pack3 to login to AD domain.
Running the GPresult from the command prompt returns the following:

RSOP results for TMS\TABATAJ on PD9403355 : Logging Mode
---------------------------------------------------------

OS Type: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Configuration: Member Workstation
OS Version: 5.1.2600
Domain Name: ABC
Domain Type: Windows 2000
Site Name: DATA-HUB-SITE
Roaming Profile:
Local Profile: C:\Documents and Settings\tabataj
Connected over a slow link?: No

--------------------
Can I conclude that the Functional level of the AD domain that I am logging
into is windows 2000 (opposed to windows 2003 or .... )
Is there an equivalent WMI call for me to find the version of the AD?

Thanks

Jay

No, don't rely on what you see in GPRESULT to conclude the actual domain
level. I don't think GPRESULT has been updated since Windows 2000 so the
highest it will show is Windows 2000.

Not sure about WMI but you can use LDAP to view the domain level. Attribute
is msDS-Behavior-Version.

You don't even have to bind. Just a simple unathenticated connection to the
domain will revel;
