    Try this, or something like it:

    My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\", False).GetValue("Domain")

  • false420

    You are sure you are not joined to a domain

  • viki

    If that doesn't work, you should be able to use the WMI tools in the System.Management namespace (located in system.management.dll).

    sample code.


    SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Win32_ComputerSystem");
    ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);

    foreach (ManagementObject mo in searcher.Get())
    {
         workGroupName = mo[    "Workgroup"] as string;
    }

    I do not beleive there is a way to get this information using System.Net.

  • Little Shell

    Both examples don't want to work in my application. Result is null.Maybe there is another way to get workgroup
