Re: Network login and e-mail address

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You can use Environment.UserDomainName if the application is WinForms one
and HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name if you are in the ASP.NET
application.

Once you've obtained the domain name
System.DirectoryServices namespace will help you. It contains necessary
classess to query Active Directory for the info you need.
It uses LDAP pathes. Outlook Exchange server can also be queried in the same
way.
