My computer is in a Domain (Active Directory) and I need to get the domain name dynamically. I found the following code on the internet:
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Win32_ComputerSystem");
using (ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query))
{
foreach (ManagementObject mo in searcher.Get())
{
if ((bool)mo["partofdomain"])
{
this.Domain = mo["domain"].ToString();
break;
}
}
}
It works exactly as I want and returns exactly the domain name as I want (when I am logged as Administrator). If the user is not a Domain Admin, I have an Access denied
exception.
Does anybody know how to get the domain even with non-domain administrator users?
NOTE: I have found this solution on Internet System.Environment.UserDomainName;
but it only gives me a part of the domain name.
I.e. my domain is: something.domain.com
and the UserDomainName
returns only something
.
Why are you using WMI? Can't you use the standard .NET functionality?
System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties().DomainName;
