Its pretty simple using the classes provided in the System.DirectoryServices. string domainName = "SomeDomain"; DirectoryEntry domainEntry = new DirectoryEntry(String.Format("WinNT://{0}",domainName)); //Filter on computers domainEntry.Children.SchemaFilter.Add("computer"); DirectoryEntries entries = domainEntry.Children; foreach(DirectoryEntry entry in entries) { Console.WriteLine(entry.Name); } regards, Dominique LeBlond
