I'm having some strange problems with a VB.NET application that I support.
The application currently uses SystemInformati on.UserName() and
SystemInformati on.UserDomainNa me() to determine who is logged in, and what
network domain they are logged into.
And for our environment here (logged into a domain), it seems to work just
fine.
However, we have some German users (with a slightly different operating
system - basic Windows XP english vs Windows XP german with something called
the CAT client on it) that aren't getting the domain correctly, despite
being logged into the same domain as we are in the states.
When they run the application, it reports their domain as their computer
name, and not the domain.
I checked their system environment variables (manually, from a CMD window),
and even that confirmed that they were on the domain. But it's still not
reporting that to SystemInformati on.UserDomainNa me()
I also tried the UserName/UserDomainName properties of the Environment
object, and got the same (incorrect) results.
Has anyone else dealt with anything like this? If so, what do I need to do
to get the correct domain?
Thanks!

Isn't that the same as Environment.Use rDomainName?
I've tried Environment.Use rDomainName, and it's giving me the same results.

Disregard my previous response. I just tried
System.Environm ent.UserDomainN ame, and it returned nothing (which is the
same as System.Environm ent.UserName did as well).

Okay, now I feel like an idiot. Ignore my last response (where it was
blank) - that was a coding issue.
But, as I suspected initially, System.Environm ent.UserDomainN ame seems to be
returning exactly the same as Environment.Use rDomainName.

Challenge is:

So far I am forced to use WMI which is less convenient and slower then
