Building an LDAP domain path for AD queries in C# .NET

Little task I had to do this morning I thought I'd share.
I'm knocking up something that will do some active directory queries, and the first step was to connect using the LDAP Path. I wanted this to be fairly automated though, and the following code will work out the domain of the local machine and build the LDAP string for you. Might be of use... :)

String DNSDomainName = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName()).HostName;

private void GetUsersFromAD()
{
String DNSDomainName = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName()).HostName;
DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry();
String[] DNSComponents = DNSDomainName.Split('.');
String LDAPPath = "LDAP://OU=Domain";
for (int i = 1; i < DNSComponents.Length; i++)
{
LDAPPath = LDAPPath + ",DC=" + DNSComponents[i].ToString();
}
de.Path = LDAPPath;

}

We recently visited Lake Garda on our hols. I've uploaded some photos to the website, so why not take a look? Pictures from Lake Garda

Today I replaced a motherboard in a Dell laptop and had NO screws left over! AND it works!
