Domain and machines that belong to it.

[Alex Ayzin]

Hi,

I've never worked on networks, domains or WMI problems. I'll try to word out
what I need. Basically, I have HostName on my form(IP address -
abc123.DomainName.com). HostName is passed from different object. I need to
retrieve the list of all computer names that belong to that domain.
Everything stored in Active Directory. Should I use Environment class or
..Net API(no idea what is that, though). Please, advise.
Thanks,

Hi,

Use the classes in system.directoryservices. Here is a link to an
example.

Thanks a lot, Ken. The article seems to be precisely what I need. Thanks a
lot.
Somebody told me, that I'd have to use old Win 32 API call, Win32_Group or
something. I'm glad that I don't have to use that stuff anymore.
