Return FQDN of machine

Hi all,

I am hoping to return the FQDN of the computer running this win app.

Environment.MachineName just doesn't cut it :)

Anyone got a solution?

Hummm.... so what were you expecting as an answer?

Something like:   CN=MACHINE12,CN=Workstations,DN=SomeDomain,DN=Com

or just:        Machine12.SomeDomain.Com

I'd recommend an LDAP query against the domain to get either answer

I dont think an LDAP query would do the job because of what happens. This app will be run on a few different machines on different forests and i dont want to hard code any domain settings anywhere.

I am just after something like Machine12.somedomain.com

The environment.machinename only gives you Machine12
