Get list of local computer usernames in Windows
I use this code to get my local Windows 7 users:
public static List<string> GetComputerUsers()
{
List<string> users = new List<string>();
var path =
string.Format("WinNT://{0},computer", Environment.MachineName);
using (var computerEntry = new DirectoryEntry(path))
foreach (DirectoryEntry childEntry in computerEntry.Children)
if (childEntry.SchemaClassName == "User")
users.Add(childEntry.Name);
return users;
}
using System.Management;
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Win32_UserAccount");
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
foreach (ManagementObject envVar in searcher.Get())
{
Console.WriteLine("Username : {0}", envVar["Name"]);
}
This code is the same as the link KeithS posted. I used it a couple years ago without issue but had forgotten where it came from, thanks Keith.
