How could I obtain the domain name from SQL?

Dear fellows,
I would need from T-SQL job or through any friendly-user function (VB
front-end app) the aforementioned value.
With EXEC xp_cmdshell 'IPCONFIG /ALL' I get values such as HOST NAME or
IP Adress. Problem is the following: if oneself launch IPCONFIG /ALL from a
DOS session it is obtained DNS suffixes list with values hoped: domain,
Active Directory and so on. But launched from Query Analyzer due to it
returns more than a row appear as NULL value.
Does anyone know how/where it is available?

Is this the only problem?
CREATE TABLE #foo(cmd VARCHAR(1024))
INSERT #foo EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'IPCONFIG /ALL'
SELECT * FROM #foo WHERE cmd IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #foo|||Dear Aaron,
Is this the only problem?
No!
Your solution not works because of appers the line empty.
Thanks a lot for your support,

Okay, so is this really that difficult?
SELECT * FROM #foo WHERE cmd > ''
