Hi,

This is giving me the username only not domain name. I want only the
domain name.

No, it's returning the domain name not the user name.

Sure, almost all configuration parameters are stored in the registry, but
you better use the appropriate API's to get this kind of info instead of
reading directly from the registry.
The reason is simple, their location is not documented and is not guaranteed
to remain the same across OS versions, and the registry is subject to access
privilege restrictions.

You're right, Thanks for advise

I did not take a look at Environment class

However, there are two domain names involved: domain that computer belongs
to and domain current logged user belongs to. Two may not be the same (in
case there are domain trusts between domains). It is not clear what original
poster wanted though.

That's right. To get Domain info it's better to use WMI or ADSI, both are
accessible from .NET through the System.Manageme nt and
System.Director yServices namespaces.
To get the machine account domain for instance you can query the
'Win32_Computer System' WMI class like this:
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Wi n32_ComputerSys tem");
using(Managemen tObjectSearcher searcher = new
ManagementObjec tSearcher(query ))
{
foreach (ManagementObje ct mo in searcher.Get()) {
if((bool)mo["partofdoma in"] != true)
Console.WriteLi ne("Workgroup: {0} ",mo["workgroup"]);
else
Console.WriteLi ne("Domain: {0} ",mo["domain"]);
}
}

To get the interactive logon account domain, you can query the
Win32_LogonSess ion and it's associated Win32_Account instance.
If all you need is to get the logon account domain from a program running in
the logon session of an iteractive user, just read the
Environment.Use rDomainName property. In all other cases, that is,
applications running in non interactive logon sessions, you cannot rely on
the Environment class to get this kind of info, so you will need to use one
of the above.
