Ok just to be sure :-)
Use a directorySearcher with a filter...
ntDirectoryGroups = new DirectoryEntry(bindNTDomainPath,bindNTUser,
bindNTPassword);
src = new DirectorySearcher();
// specify properties to load
string[] props = {"cn", more properties};
src.PropertiesToLoad.AddRange(props);
src.SearchRoot = ntDirectoryGroups;
src.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;
// return all groups except "domain computers" and "domain controllers" and
.......
src.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=group)(!cn=domain computers)(!cn=domain
controllers))";
SearchResultCollection res = src.FindAll();
// process the objects in the collection
foreach(SearchResult sc in res) {
.....
