Does anyone know how to get the domain name in Visual C++.  I tried the
GetDCName function but it didn't seem to return to me the domain name.
Could some one offer any examples would be greatly appreciated.

Check out the MS KB articles.  They have an example for NT.

I believe GetDCName returns the name of the Domain controller (Primary?)
which is the main server on your network.  There must be a API for the
domain name, but I haven't found it - if anyone knows .... please tell.

Try the NetWkstaGetInfo() API.

You can use the WNetEnumResource

like this:

Private Const NO_ERROR = 0 '  dderror
Private Const ERROR_NOT_CONTAINER = 1207&
Private Const ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER = 87 '  dderror
Private Const ERROR_EXTENDED_ERROR = 1208&
Private Const ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS = 259&
Private Const ERROR_MORE_DATA = 234&  ' Made by PMN instead of
ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS
Private Const ERROR_NO_NETWORK = 1222&
Private Const ERROR_INVALID_ADDRESS = 487&
Private Const ERROR_BAD_PROVIDER = 1204&
Private Const ERROR_UNKNOWN = 10000&

Private Type NETRESOURCE
    dwScope As Long
    dwType As Long
    dwDisplayType As Long
    dwUsage As Long
    lpLocalName As Long
    lpRemoteName As Long
    lpComment As Long
    lpProvider As Long
End Type

Declare Function WNetOpenEnum Lib "mpr" Alias "WNetOpenEnumA" _
                 (ByVal dwScope As Long, ByVal dwType As Long, ByVal dwUsage
As Long, _
                 LPNETRESOURCE As Any, lphEnum As Long) As Long

Declare Function WNetEnumResource Lib "MPR.DLL" Alias "WNetEnumResourceA" _
                 (ByVal hEnum As Long, lpcCount As Long, lpBuffer As Any, _
                 lpBufferSize As Long) As Long

Declare Function WNetCloseEnum Lib "MPR.DLL" _
                 (ByVal hEnum As Long) As Long

Actually you need to use NetWkstaUserGetInfo (in NETAPI32.DLL).
NT only.

On Win95, you need totally different code.
Alas, there's 16-bit APIs but you usually want this info in a 32-bit program.
MS' answer is to use the thunk compiler to make 32-bit code that can call the
appropriate 16-bit APIs.
I never needed it that bad (yet) to bother.
