Hi,

I want to obtain the name of the domain associated with the computer in the
way it is displayed by the My Computer's Properties dialog.

I've been using the native NetWkstaGetInfo method but it does not return the
full name of the domain.

Ex.
Properties dialog display: Domain: webfactory.ecom-webfactory.de
NetWkstaGetInfo returns: webfactory

Any idea how to get the complete domain name?

Thanks,
Mircea

Hi Mircea,

Thanks for your post.

To get the fullname of the domain, you can use get the USERDNSDOMAIN
environment variable. Code listed below:

MessageBox.Show(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("USERDNSDOMAIN"));

Hope it helps
