Are you using Active Directory?

Yes, I believe we are using Active Directory. We have a Windows 2003
server.

This is crude, but it should get you started. This code will give you
all the users in AD:

        Console.WriteLine("** Listing Start")

        Dim oDirectoryEntry As DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = New
DirectoryEntry("LDAP://SomeDomainHere")
        Dim oDirectorySearcher As DirectorySearcher = New
DirectorySearcher(oDirectoryEntry)

        oDirectorySearcher.Filter = ("(ObjectClass=User)")
        Dim oResult As SearchResult = oDirectorySearcher.FindOne
        For Each oResult In oDirectorySearcher.FindAll
            Console.WriteLine(oResult.GetDirectoryEntry().Name)
        Next

        Console.WriteLine("Listing End **")

I copied the code into my project but my DirectoryServices are not defined.
How can I do that? Do I need to import a namespace? If so, which one? I
ran through Imports system. and couldn't find DirectoryServices.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yep...

Imports System.DirectoryServices

There is no System.DirectoryServices when I look at intellisense. Is there
something else to import first?

Add a reference to System.DirectoryServices in the My Project thingammybob.
It's not referenced by default.

I added the reference to DirectoryServices into my project and it now works.
Thanks for the tip.
