Hello Kedar,

Found the solution:

List users = new List();
var path =
string.Format("WinNT://{0},computer", Environment.MachineName);

using (var computerEntry = new DirectoryEntry(path))
foreach (DirectoryEntry childEntry in computerEntry.Children)
if (childEntry.SchemaClassName == "User")
users.Add(childEntry.Name);

Thanks for your help.

Hi Kedar,

Thanks for quick response.

Code you gave is working.
But then I have 1 more question/ doubt that we have to provide the group name we need to search for users.
But if I need to get all the users irrespective to which group he belongs to, then what parameter will I have to provide to below line
localMachine.Children.Find("administrators", "group");
