Get the FQDN of your host with PowerShell

I was looking into a way to get the FQDN of my server in PowerShell.  There are some Environment Variables (like USERDNSDOMAIN), but they reflect the current logged on user and not the computer.

 

Use the following code to list your FQDN:

$objIPProperties = [System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPGlobalProperties]::GetIPGlobalProperties()

"{0}.{1}" -f $objIPProperties.HostName, $objIPProperties.DomainName

Done!
