Retrieve members of group for each server specified - Error: Network path was not found

Question

Hi.
I am using scripttask in SSIS to retrieve the members of a group from each of server.

I used the below code:

  DirectoryEntry deComputer = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + ComputerName + ",computer");
                deComputer.RefreshCache();

                DirectoryEntry deGroup = deComputer.Children.Find(groupName, "group");
                Object Members = deGroup.Invoke("Members", null);                 

        

The above code works , when i run on the server which has this code. If i input a different server within the same domain, I am getting error as - Network path was not found.

How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi.

Found the solution with the below code:

var server = new DirectoryEntry(string.Format("WinNT://{0},Computer", machine));

DirectoryEntry group = server.Children.Cast<DirectoryEntry>().Where(

    d => d.SchemaClassName.Equals("Group") && d.Name.Equals("Group Name")

).Single<DirectoryEntry>();
