WinNT provider, c#, retrieving NT computers

[John P]

My application needs to enumerate computers on both AD domains and also on
existing NT domains. The earch of Ad domains was a snap, but the WinNT
provider errors out telling me you cannot search on this provider. I need to
return a list of computers (and distinguish servers fron workstations) in a
particular NT domain. Anybody out there run into this?

You probably don't have access to the NT domain you are trying to query.
Check if trust is setup.

Hi,

this is not possibly with the implementation of ADSI in NT4. The interface
does not implement searching. The only alternate I see is to enum all and
"build a filter in code".
