I'm trying to get the user name of the current user. When I log in as Johnny Smith
and run my application without administrator privileges it will return me the correct user name, Johnny Smith
. But the problem is that when I right click and choose "Run as Administrator", Windows will prompt me with a login screen for the administrator and after login my application returns user name admin
, not the user which is logged in currently.
I have tried:
strUserLabel.Text = Environment.UserName
Also
Dim WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Dim strUser = ""
While strUser = ""
strUser = WSHNetwork.Username
End While
strUserLabel.Text = strUser
Both return me the administrator user name when prompted as administrator.
Answer
I have figured it out. I used this function which will determine which process which the user is using. In my code I defined that look for username of the explorer.exe
process.
Function GetUserName() As String
Dim selectQuery As Management.SelectQuery = New Management.SelectQuery("Win32_Process")
Dim searcher As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher(selectQuery)
Dim y As System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection
y = searcher.Get
For Each proc As Management.ManagementObject In y
Dim s(1) As String
proc.InvokeMethod("GetOwner", CType(s, Object()))
Dim n As String = proc("Name").ToString()
If n = "explorer.exe" Then
Return s(0)
End If
Next
End Function
Index of 0 will return username
Index of 1 will return domain name of user
