I am looking for a way to obtain a domain users PC name by searching a domain using a domain username.

I am a novice when it comes to vb.net and have yet to find anything on the net. I have found a way to find local domain information for my own PC, but I cannot seem to search the whole of the domain using a "user name". Thank you in advance.

I guess I don't know for sure what you're asking. Are you looking for the names of the computers on a network?

If you want the computer name, just use

VB

My.Computer.Name

So, for example,

VB

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Label1.text = My.Computer.Name.ToString

End Sub
