finding workgroup name

[Ewart MacLucas]

Does anybody know how to find the workgroup name (or domainname) of the
local PC. Is there a framework class for it?

(preferably a solution not involving active directory calls)

Thanks,
Ewart.

Ewart,

To find the domain name --
MessageBox.Show(Environment.UserDomainName.ToStrin g)
To find the machine name --
MessageBox.Show(Environment.MachineName.ToString)

Let me know if this works.

Cheers,
Gary

Thanks Gary but unfortunately both functions just return the computer name
of the current machine, not the domain to which I'am attached. Any other
ideas? (ps, preferably not a WMI solution either! :-))

Both properties are string's, hence ToString() ist not necessary.

Michael,
This works for me
\\\\
Dim environmentVariables As IDictionary =
Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables()
Dim de As DictionaryEntry
For Each de In environmentVariables
If de.Key.ToString = "USERDOMAIN" Then
MessageBox.Show(de.Value.ToString)
Next de
////
I hope for you too?

Ewart,

This line of code works certainly works for me :
MessageBox.Show(Environment.UserDomainName)

Are you sure you are trying to get the Domain name ?
