Property Value
Type:
System..::.StringThe network domain name associated with the current user.
The domain account credentials for a user are formatted as the user's domain name, the '\' character, and user name. Use the UserDomainName property to obtain the user's domain name and the UserName property to obtain the user name. A user name is typically an abbreviated combination of the user's first and last names.
The UserDomainName property first attempts to get the domain name component of the Windows account name for the current user. If that attempt fails, this property attempts to get the domain name associated with the user name provided by the UserName property. If that attempt fails because the host computer is not joined to a domain, then the host computer name is returned.
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition Platform Note: The UserDomainName property is not supported for this platform.
The following code example displays the user domain name of the computer running the code example. (The user domain name is omitted from the code example output for security reasons.)
