Obtaining complete User List

[Dave]

Hi all,

My question is: How do you obtain a complete list of all the users
that are registered on the local machine? I've been trying for hours
now and can't find anything that will help on the groups.

Anyone have any idea how to do this in VB.NET?

thanks

Dave

Hi after a bit of searching I found this sample on the newsgroup which does
what you want:

Add reference to System.Dirtecto ryServices

Imports System.Director yServices

Dim de As DirectoryEntry
Dim Child As DirectoryEntry

de = New DirectoryEntry( "WinNT://" & Environment.Mac hineName & ",computer" )
'Filter for only "User" entries.
de.Children.Sch emaFilter.Add(" user")

Console.WriteLi ne("USERS:")
For Each Child In de.Children
Console.WriteLi ne(" - " & Child.Name)
Next Child
Hope this helps

Greetz, Peter
