Get Active Directory groups for current user

Question

How to get the Active Directory groups to which the current user belongs?

Is there a way to do this using the DirectoryServices.AccountManagement library?

Answer 1

I found how. This turned out to be very simple with DirectoryServices.AccountManagement :

 using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement; PrincipalSearchResult<Principal> groups = UserPrincipal.Current.GetGroups(); IEnumerable<string> groupNames = groups.Select(x => x.SamAccountName);
