Get machine name from Active Directory
- by Stephen Murby
I have performed an "LDAP://" query to get a list of computers within a specified OU, my issue is not being able to collect just the computer "name" or even "cn".
DirectoryEntry toShutdown = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + comboBox1.Text.ToString());
DirectorySearcher machineSearch = new DirectorySearcher(toShutdown);
//machineSearch.Filter = "(objectCatergory=computer)";
machineSearch.Filter = "(objectClass=computer)";
machineSearch.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;
machineSearch.PropertiesToLoad.Add("name");
SearchResultCollection allMachinesCollected = machineSearch.FindAll();
Methods myMethods = new Methods();
string pcName;
foreach (SearchResult oneMachine in allMachinesCollected)
{
//pcName = oneMachine.Properties.PropertyNames.ToString();
pcName = oneMachine.Properties["name"].ToString();
MessageBox.Show(pcName);
}
Help much appreciated.
