getting infos on the current user

[dizi 0]

hi,

i'm having trouble using AutoIT to get the name of the current user. Let me explain ...

We use a package deployment solution named OCS ( http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/ ). It's the OCS client, installed on all our computers, who launch our AutoIT packages. The OCS agent is launch automatically by the service manager.

In one of our package, we need to know who is the current user, so we used the @Username macro. When manually launched the result is OK, it's the name of the current user. But when launched via the OCS agent, the result is "SYSTEM".

So we tried with @UserProfileDir: ok when launched manually, but with OCS the result is "C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService".

We also tried to get the result of the DOS command "echo %USERNAME%" ... same conclusion : it worked well manually, but it returns "SYSTEM" with the OCS agent ...

By chance, any idea ?

Any help will be grealty appreciated :]

This is what I use:

Global $LastName = EnvGet("NWLASTNAME")
Global $FirstName = EnvGet("NWFIRSTNAME")
Global $username = EnvGet("NWUSERNAME")
Global $computername = EnvGet("COMPUTERNAME")
Global $computerlocation = EnvGet("PCLocation")

The NW ones come from Novell log-in.

If you type 'SET' in a dos box you'll see what's available to you.

$computername = EnvGet("USERNAME")
MsgBox(4096, "Test", $computername, 10)
