.net core System.DirectoryServices not available?

Question

I'm creating a project targetting dotnetcore 2.0.

According to the MSDN, System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory should be usable in .net core 2.0 but I get an error that it can't find DirectoryServices under System.

The method I need is GetComputerDomain()

Is their an alternative for .net core 2.0?

I'm looking for an alternative to

using System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory

var domain = Domain.GetComputerDomain();

??

WOuld like to be able to get the domain on windows and linux machines.

Answer 1

You need to refer System.DirectoryServices manually in your project.
Here is the MSDN link about managing references .

Answer 2

System.DirectoryServices is now available in .net core 2.1; however, it works fine in Windows, but not in Linux (throws PlatformNotSupportedException, not sure whether it's an expected behavior).
