Get the primary domain controller [pdc]
<![CDATA[
{
The NetGetDCName function returns the name of the primary domain controller (PDC).
It does not return the name of the backup domain controller (BDC) for the specified domain.
Also, you cannot remote this function to a non-PDC server.
Windows 2000/XP: Applications that support DNS-style names should call the function.
Domain controllers in this type of environment have a multi-master
directory replication relationship.
Therefore, it may be advantageous for your application to use a DC that is not the PDC.
You can call the DsGetDcName function to locate any DC in the domain;
NetGetDCName returns only the name of the PDC.
