Answer 1

Here is a way to determine the FQDN of a server based on the "Name" and "DistinguishedName". Works for multiple domains:

$server = Get-ADComputer serverName -Server domainName -Properties * | select Name, DistinguishedName
$domain = $server.DistinguishedName -split ","
$domain = $domain | ? {$_ -like 'DC=*'}
$domain = $domain -join "."
$domain = $domain -replace "DC="
$FQDN = $server.Name + "." + $domain
