Hi,

I'm currently successfully retrieving the list of computers connected on the
differents domains of our network via the
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry class.

What I'd like to have in addition of the computers name is their comment
(just like when you browse over your network places on XP).

The only way I found is querying the description field of
win32_computersystem (WMI). Unfortunatly, I need to use an authenticated
user/password (for the System.Management.ManagementScope constructor) for
each computers to retrieve the comment (except for my own computer).

Does anybody know if (and how) it is possible to retrieve this comment (when
available), please?

Best regards,

Vangelis
