How can I know the domain name in wich user has loged ?

[Dennes Torres]

Hi!

Using API I can discover the machine name and the user name, but How can
I discover the domain name ?

I'm creating a security system. In this system the administrator can, with
my application, configure wich nt/2000 users will have access to the application.
So the application will not have a login screen, it will grant the access
(or not) depending of the user logged in.

But I will have problems if the application run in a computer outside the
domain, so a hacker could create user accounts with the same name of users
that have full access and the security will not work.

So, I have two options to solve this problem :

A) Compare domain names
B) Compare users SID's

How can I do that ?

Obs: Sory by my english, I don't speak english well
