Cannot get domain name using C#

I am trying to get domain name using C# with the below code,

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var domainName = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties().DomainName;
    Console.WriteLine(domainName);
    Console.ReadLine();
}

It prints domain name correctly in domain connected windows 8 machine. But it doesn't print anything in windows server 2012 R2 machine.

How to get domain name in Windows server 2012 machine.

In the past, I have used this code to get the domain name. It is accessed through the environmental variables on that machine.

string UserDomain = Environment.UserDomainName.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(UserDomain);

Perhaps the exception is caused from running it on a server for which the user does not have the appropriate permissions. Have you tried doing a "run As administrator" or "run as different user" with the exe?

I hope that works for you: 

string domainName = System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain.GetComputerDomain().Name;
