How to get Domain Name from service?

I would like to obtain the machine's domain name from my service application,
but the Environment.UserDomainName property only returns "NT AUTHORITY". Is
there an easy way to get the information I'm looking for without resorting to
WMI?

Thanks!

Hi,

Did you try systeminformation.userdomainname?

Ken,

That function only returns "NT AUTHORITY" as well when called from a
service. Do you know of any other functions that would provide the machine's
domain name?

Thanks.
