The below code snippet will help you . If you ever need to list the user in a domain. For example Artinsoft.com this is code might be helpful public static void Main() { var ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain Artinsoft  DC=artinsoftDC=com ); UserPrincipal userPrin = new UserPrincipal(ctx); userPrin.Name = * ; var searcher = new System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalSearcher(); searcher.QueryFilter = userPrin; var results = searcher.FindAll(); foreach (Principal p in results) { Console.WriteLine( Name:{0}Account={1}DisplayName={2}Distinguish={3}  p.Name p.SamAccountName p.DisplayName p.DistinguishedName); } }
