Here is my issue. I have a netbios name: SERVER1. It's FQDN is
DOMAIN1.COM.
Are You sure that this name "SERVER1" is a name of a domain, not a domain controller?

BTW - so You have the domain name which is domain1.com

probably FQDN of this machine is SERVER1.DOMAIN1.COM, am I right?


How do I find an LDAP query for a group within this domain by knowing
only the NETBIOS name? I am using C#. Any help would be appreciated.

use DirectorySearcher with search base set to DC=DOMAIN1,DC=COM and scope Subtree (I know, this is not efficient at all but if you don't have any clues where to look for You have to use it) and search for the group.

Hints how to search for a groups You will find here:
