I'm not expert at either VB or Active Directory Services but that's what I
think your snippet is using. You may want to start reading here

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/active_directory_service_interfaces_adsi.asp

and then perhaps find an Active Directory newsgroup for information on its
object model.

On the other hand if you are looking for an answer to the question in the
subject line then I'd suggest that you search the docs for NetServerEnum()
for the pre-AD way of enumerating the workstations in a domain.
