One of the most daunting tasks during a vCenter / DC crash will be to figure out the SSO domain name quickly This includes stuff like SSO domain, DB user, DB DSN, domain DN, linked mode status etc.
- SSO Domain
- DB UserName
- Domain Account
- DSN id
- Linked Mode
Interestingly, all these details are stored in /etc/vmware/install-defaults and using within seconds we can get this info out.

Finding my SSO domain
cat vmdir.domain-name

Find AD account used to connect to the Active Directory
cat ad.domain.username As per this output, my vCSA is not AD joined yet.

Find DB user
