[Solved] VB Getting list of local users

by


You need to add a reference to System.DirectoryServices to be able to use this function…

 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim Users As List(Of String) = GetLocalUsers("localhost")

    For Each User As String In Users
        MessageBox.Show(User)
    Next
End Sub

Private Function GetLocalUsers(ByVal MachineName As String) As List(Of String)
    Dim WinNt As New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" & MachineName)
    Dim UserList As New List(Of String)

    For Each User As DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry In WinNt.Children
        If User.SchemaClassName = "User" Then
            UserList.Add(User.Name)
        End If
    Next

    Return UserList
End Function
