According to me you wont be able to get all the computers in the network under a treelist control. You will only be allowed to see the different domains which are there in the network under a single treelist controls but still there must be some workaround to bring all the computers under one treelist controls.

Thanks for replying. I tried different ways in to write the program for getting the all the computers under a single control treelist but only the domains under which the computers are working. I have searched everywhere on the Internet but there is no solution available. Still if anybody knows how to go about it, please help.

Try the following modifications in the code and see if it works. In the NetServerEnum with "servertype" parameter change it to SV_TYPE_DOMAIN_ENUM so that all the computers under the domains are visible. Then call NetGetDCName functions on each of these domains to get the full domain names. Now call NetQueryDisplayInformation with level 2 at each of the DCs which are obtained to get computer names of each domains. Hopefully the post helps.

The Wnetenumresources is an API which is developed by Microsoft. You can get all the required information for getting a list of all the devices on the local area network from the official website of Microsoft. The exact configuration for the Wnetenumresource is also provided on the website which will definite help you in solving the issue.

Yes the MSDN official website has all the required data for configuring and using the Wnetenumresource API for showing all the computers which are connected on the same network. The information was really helpful in configuring the API.
