Re: Directory Server/Domain discovery

Hi,

If you can't get enough info from System.DirectoryServices,
then maybe the
Win32 function DsGetDomainControllerInfo() would be of some
help here.
Using it, you can get back a DS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_INFO_2
structure with all
sorts of information on the DC.  I know it's a pain to go
through P/Invoke,
but still.  Sometimes, there's nothing better than getting
down to the
metal.
