When you go to "MyComputer " and get properties and select "Computer Name",
you get the Domain or Workgroup a computer belongs to.
I have looked thru MSDN library, the Internet, the Registry and in all files
on my computer and cannot find how to retrieve this information in VB.Net
2005.
This information is essential for our system implementation.
I have tried:
NetworkInformat ion.IPGlobalPro perties.GetIPGl obalProperties
but it does not get the info for a 'workgroup', only a 'domain'.
I have also tried:
SystemInformati on.UserDomainNa me
but still get nothing but the computer name if it is in a workgroup.

The app returned the computer's name on the pc that is just part of a
workgroup.
On my dev machine, it returned the domain name.

I think if your not logged into a domain, you will only get the computer
name - is your dev machine in a domain?

The computers I need the workgroup name from are not part of a domain.
I can clearly see the name in the properties dialog box, so, I know it's
somehow set on the computer. I just have found no way to retrieve it.

Theres a post here from another MVP that should help you, it uses the
Management namespace and WMI, so its a better example.

I have a server in a workgroup (called "wg"). Does anyone know how to find
the name of the workgroup from code (pref c#)? I've trawled the newsgroups
and the MSDN site for the right class / method / property to use but I just
can't find the right one. There are plenty (such as UserDomainName) that
give me the server name, but none that I can find to give me the actual
workgroup name.
