Get current windows domain name

[Dorte]

Hi,

I need to use check the current windows user of the application by using
User.IsInRole(DOMAIN\USERGROUP)

I have knowledge of the usergroup to check on, but since the application
will be installed at different web servers, I cannot be sure of the windows
domain. Is there an easy way to ask for the domain name?

Thanks,
Dorte

Dorte,

You can get the domain by including a reference to System.DirectoryServices
and executing the code sample below.

I hope this helps.

-------------------------

DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://<servernamegoeshere>");
string domain = entry.Parent.Name;
Console.WriteLine(domain);

Do you mean Environment.UserDomainName ?
