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:
NetworkInformation.IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalP roperties
but it does not get the info for a 'workgroup', only a 'domain'.
I have also tried:
SystemInformation.UserDomainName
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.
Give that a try http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1225748.php
