[Surya Ayyagari]

you can do that using WMI through System.Management namespace (you must add it as reference) you can query Win32_UserAccount and Win32_UserGroup from WMI for collecting your data maybe this is not the best solution but it's going to work :) here is the code

public class UserManagements
{
public class GroupUser
{
const string PATTERNNAME = ".*Name=\"(?'name'.*)\".*";
const string PATTERNDOMAIN = ".*Domain=\"(?'domain'.*)\",.*";

            public readonly string groupName;
            public readonly string partName;

            public readonly string groupDomain;
            public readonly string partDomain;

            public GroupUser(string groupComponent, string partComponent)
            {
                this.groupName = Regex.Replace(groupComponent, PATTERNNAME, "${name}");
                this.partName = Regex.Replace(partComponent, PATTERNNAME, "${name}");

                this.groupDomain = Regex.Replace(groupComponent, PATTERNDOMAIN, "${domain}");
                this.partDomain = Regex.Replace(partComponent, PATTERNDOMAIN, "${domain}");
            }

        }

        public class UserAccount
        {
            public readonly int AccountType;
            public readonly string Caption;
            public readonly string Description;
            public readonly bool Disabled;
            public readonly string Domain;
            public readonly string FullName;

            public readonly bool LocalAccount;
            public readonly bool Lockout;
            public readonly string Name;
            public readonly bool PasswordChangeable;
            public readonly bool PasswordExpires;
            public readonly bool PasswordRequired;
            public readonly string SID;
            public readonly int SIDType;
            public readonly string Status;

            public UserAccount(ManagementObject userMO)
            {
                this.AccountType = Convert.ToInt32(userMO.Properties\["AccountType"\].Value);
                this.Caption = userMO.Properties\["Caption"\].Value as string;
                this.Description = userMO.Properties\["Description"\].Value as string;
                this.Disabled = Convert.ToBoolean(userMO.Properties\["AccountType"\].Value);
                this.Domai
