.NET: How to query NT NT / Users database or entry?
2 answers
I am assuming you are using C #. You can get them using WMI:
using System.Management;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Win32_UserAccount");
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
foreach (ManagementObject envVar in searcher.Get())
{
Console.WriteLine("Username : {0}", envVar["Name"]);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

You can use the System.DirectoryServices namespace for this. Here's a great article describing how to use the classes in this namespace.
Here's some code showing how to do it:
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://MACHINE_NAME");
entry.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure;
DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
deSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user))";
SearchResultCollection results = deSearch.FindAll();
foreach (SearchResult srUser in results)
{
try
{
DirectoryEntry de = srUser.GetDirectoryEntry();
lstbox.Items.Add(de.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value.ToString());
}
catch { }
}
