Yes, there are more. Why not just go to the .NET documentation or simply
look into Object Browser in Visual Studio?

Because i'm told that system.environment isn't reliable - i want the names
as the domain controller see it.

Hi Peter,

Can you tell me why System.Environment is not reliable? Do you have any
sample to demonstrate this?

System.Environment.MachineName gets the Netbios machine name by calling
Win32 GetComputerName() API internally. System.Environment.UserDomainName
property internally calls GetUserNameEx() or LookupAccountName() Win32
security API to get the result. I think they are both reliable. You can get
the [domain name]\[machine name] form, by using these two properties
together. Does it meet your need?

If you have any special concern of using them, please feel free to tell us,
thanks
