Well, I posted this question earlier but I haven't got the correct answer before it was marked as a duplicate. I think this is a different question, all the methods that I used returns a wrong output.
I wanted to know how to solve this. A sample output is here:
the code:
Imports System.Security.Principal
Imports System.Threading
Imports System.IO
Imports System
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
MsgBox("1: " & System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString & vbCrLf & _
"2: " & Environment.UserDomainName & vbCrLf & _
"3: " & WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name & vbCrLf & _
"4: " & Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name & vbCrLf & _
"5: " & Environment.UserName & vbCrLf & _
"6: " & My.User.Name & vbCrLf &
"7: " & My.Computer.Name)
' System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal.Current.DisplayName()
End Sub
End Class
I don't even know the correct term / name for this Windows username.
Answer
Use System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal.Current.DisplayName
As noted by the replies on this thread, you can use this by adding a reference to System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.dll
in your project.
