  Domain Conroller

  Jul 22, 2011 04:28 PM|ks123|LINK

  Hi,

  How do I progrmatically (in C#) determine which domain controller authenticates a user knowing the domain name for the user? I obtained the domain name for the user from the distinguisedName for the user.

  Thanks for any help

  Try this...

              PrincipalContext principalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, domainName);
              string connectedDC = principalContext.ConnectedServer;
