enumerating computer in domain (include comments)

wifetalks

I'm enumerating the computers in the domain to a listview control on my
form, but how do I include the comments. Like what you would see in
Windows Explorer when you browse the domain.

On our domain, the computer names are insignificant (Dell service tag),
so we include the user's name in the comments (computer description).
Using WinXP, the explorer displays this comment when viewing in Tiles
or Details view.

How do I get this information into my listview? If I access it via the
DirectoryEntry Properties, I don't know what that property would be.
I'm new to VB.NET so I don't know how to go through the properties
either and display all of them so I can figure out which property it
is.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Rayne
