I do this by running a script which will determine which site the computer you are on can be located in.

In this example I have created my sites and configured them with the respective subnets, then added a new machine to the domain I then log on to the new server and open a command prompt and create a new vbs file (mysite.vbs) and add the following lines of text

Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject(”ADSystemInfo”)
WScript.Echo “Your current site name = ” & objADSysInfo.SiteName

I then run the vbs file using cscript

cscript mysite.vbs

here is the output from the command prompt :-

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cscript mysite.vbs
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6

Your current site name = Site-1

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
