Hello Goncalo,

Try this.

using System.Security .Principal;
WindowsIdentity .GetCurrent().N ame.ToString();

This returns a string computer/username.

Also check out the System.Windows. Forms.SystemInf ormation class. It has a
static property that returns the computer name.

Using System.Manageme nt and WMI (WinMe, W2K, XP and W2K3).

ManagementObjec t cs;
using(cs = new ManagementObjec t ("Win32_Compute rSystem.Name='" +
System.Environm ent.MachineName + "'"))
{
cs.Get();
if ((bool)cs["partOfDoma in"] != null)
{
if ((bool)cs["partOfDoma in"] == true)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Domain: {0}",cs["domain"]);
}
else
Console.WriteLi ne("Workgroup: {0}",cs["workgroup"]);
}
else
Console.WriteLi ne("No domain/Workgrup member");
}
