Retrieve Domain Name

Bruno

Hello Friends

I have a big problem. I can't retrieve the domain name (example:
contoso.com) using visual basic.net language. I'm very appreciate if anyone
give me an example how can I solve this.
Im new on this language and and perhaps this is very easy for all of you :)

Thanks for help

Can you describe the scenario in more detail? What do you mean with
"retrieving a domain name"?

Hello

I need to create a simple application that returns the domain name where the
user name logs in. For example, if I acccess in a computer with the domain
user Contoso\bruno, my application should return the value "CONTOSO".
Basically, my application when executed in a pc that belongs to a domain,
must return the CONTOSO.COM (domain name). All this in Visual Basic.net.

Thank you for help

Try the following:

Dim SystemInfo As Object

SystemInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
MsgBox(SystemInfo.ForestDNSName)
