Question

Is there a way to get FSMO roles using C# from active directory? Even if possible with LDAP query will work.

There is lot of VB Script code given on lots of blogs. But not C#.

And how to find a DC is PDC or not?

Thanks

I thought it will be tough job to find this but end up very easy. I am posting code in case in future someone need this.

System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain dom = System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain.GetCurrentDomain();
System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.DomainController pdcdc = dom.PdcRoleOwner;
foreach (System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.DomainController dc in dom.DomainControllers)
                {
                    foreach (ActiveDirectoryRole role in dc.Roles)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("dc : {0} role : {1}", dc.Name,role.ToString());
                    }
                }
