Please enclose your posted code in [code] tags (See How to Ask a Question).

This makes it easier for our Experts to read and understand it. Failing to do so creates extra work for the moderators, thus wasting resources, otherwise available to answer the members' questions.

Please use [code] tags in future.

Also, try to remember that whitespace is preserved inside code tags, so indent properly.

Does changing your SelectQuery to:

SelectQuery sQuery = new SelectQuery("Win32_UserAccount");

Fix anything?
Since you're looping through the result anyways you could filter your search at that point...


You could also try using an SQL Where clause:

SelectQuery sQuery = new SelectQuery("Select * From Win32_UserAccount Where Domain=’ALI-PC’");

You could look into using the DirectorySearcher Class to search and perform queries against an Active Directory Domain Services.

Also, check out this article. It may help.
