Find LDAP connection domain

Question

Is there any way to find the user's server name to use in the ldap connection to active directory? Like I want to automatically when a user uses the program to use the domain they are logged in i.e. domain.com and put that in the ldap string?

Dim dirEntry As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://userDomainNetwork.com")

Answer 1

System.Environment.UserDomainName

Answer 2

What I meant was, the server name and not the domain name, sorry.

Answer 3

If I understand your question is sounds like you want the LDAP Distinguished Name (DN):

        Dim RootDSE As New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://RootDSE")
        Console.WriteLine(RootDSE.Properties("DefaultNamingContext").Value)
