PrincipalContext should be disposed.

using (PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, domainName))

{

...

}

Update: If you use this code and it blows up with a certain group with the exception: There is no such object on the server.

Then:

In my case the user it kept blowing up on was a deleted account which still was persistent in the directory because it had not been garbage collected yet. When I ran the exe with elevated permission it completed as expected, but as a regular account you cannot see the object and therefore the framework doesn’t handle this.
