Active Directory Programming help needed

Question

Hello Friends,

I want to make Windows Service in .NET which has to run on Windows Server 2003, 2008. The main functionalities i need are:

As soon as a network user logs in, Display his:

1. User name in Active Directory
2. Domain
3. Ip Address from where he connected

I do not want to install or run any program/script on the client machine.

Any help on how to go about developing this will be greatly appreciated. i saw some articles explaining this using the System.Environment namespace and some others but they only shed light for the local logged on user.

Assuming you can use .NET 3.5, have a look at the System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory namespace. The classes in there should provide a good starting point for you.
