Hey guys,
is there a way to get the information (username, home directory, user group, ...) from every user account on a windows machine (VISTA / 7). I'm running the program as an Administrator so rights shouldn't be a problem.
Ofcourse the passwords aren't needed.
Thanks in advance!!!
This would let you access the account names, full names, etc:

It basically wraps a WMI object -- to access other properties, you can use this reference:
Win32_UserAccount Class (Windows)
That one gets most of the info you asked about. Not sure about home directory though. You may need to query the UserProfile class:
Win32_UserProfile Class (Windows)

Thank you very very much !!! It completely works.Originally Posted by Cat
Now the only problem I got is that I can't seem to find a user's group. I can get all the current users and their names etc, but there's no option to find the group a certain user belongs too. Got a solution for that?
There's a GroupUser WMI class but I've never tried to use it:
Win32_GroupUser Class (Windows)
I did find this post on CodeProject, which may be more than you need, but it wraps the WMI behavior inside C# classes. Even if you don't need/use the wrappers it should help with the WMI stuff:
