c# - How get list of local network computers?

Question

I am trying to get a list of local network computers. I tried to use NetServerEnum and WNetOpenEnum API, but both API return error code 6118 (ERROR_NO_BROWSER_SERVERS_FOUND). Active Directory in the local network is not used.

Most odd Windows Explorer shows all local computers without any problems.

Are there other ways to get a list of computers in the LAN?

Answer 1

You will need to use the System.DirectoryServices namespace and try the following:

DirectoryEntry root = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT:");

foreach (DirectoryEntry computers in root.Children)
{
    foreach (DirectoryEntry computer in computers.Children)
    {
        if (computer.Name != "Schema")
        {
             textBox1.Text += computer.Name + "
";
        }
    }
}

It worked for me.
