Question
I have the code to get the members of a local group example administrators
private void GetUserGrps()
{
using (DirectoryEntry groupEntry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://./Administrators,group"))
{
foreach (object member in (IEnumerable)groupEntry.Invoke("Members"))
{
using (DirectoryEntry memberEntry = new DirectoryEntry(member))
{
new GUIUtility().LogMessageToFile(memberEntry.Path);
}
}
}
Is there a way to get the groups a local user belongs to using directory services?
Without using Active Directory or domain in it because I want for the local machine only and not for a domain.
Solution
Try This
using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ArrayList myGroups = GetUserGroups("My Local User");
}
public static ArrayList GetUserGroups(string sUserName)
{
ArrayList myItems = new ArrayList();
UserPrincipal oUserPrincipal = GetUser(sUserName);
PrincipalSearchResult<Principal> oPrincipalSearchResult = oUserPrincipal.GetGroups();
foreach (Principal oResult in oPrincipalSearchResult)
{
myItems.Add(oResult.Name);
}
return myItems;
}
public static UserPrincipal GetUser(string sUserName)
{
PrincipalContext oPrincipalContext = GetPrincipalContext();
UserPrincipal oUserPrincipal = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(oPrincipalContext, sUserName);
return oUserPrincipal;
}
public static PrincipalContext GetPrincipalContext()
{
PrincipalContext oPrincipalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Machine);
return oPrincipalContext;
}
