get_zone_nss_vars

Use the get_zone_nss_vars command to return a Tcl list containing the NSS substitution variables for the currently selected zone stored in memory. This command only works on hierarchical zones and won’t return a value for other zone types.

The get_zone_nss_vars command does not query Active Directory for this zone. If you change the variables using set_zone_field without saving the zone Active Directory, the variable you retrieve using get_zone_nss_vars won’t match the same field variable for the zone stored in Active Directory.
