@Username in a RunAs/UAC World

Is there another macro that I am overlooking that will give me the logged on user rather than the username associated with the process?  So I am logged on a "JoeUser", but the program was launched with a RunAs command so the @Username shows it as "Administrator".

There are several ways to accomplish this. Typically I use WMI. Imagine you have started a notepad process under another user:

Local $sUser, $sDomain
Local $sProcess = "Notepad"
Local $oWMI = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMv2")
Local $oProcess = $oWMI.ExecQuery('SELECT * FROM WIN32_Process WHERE Name LIKE "%' & $sProcess & '%"')

    If IsObj($oProcess) Then
        For $oItem in $oProcess
            $oOwner = $oItem.GetOwner($sUser, $sDomain)
            ConsoleWrite($sDomain & "\" & $sUser & " owns the process " & $oItem.Name & @CRLF)
        Next
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Could not obtain process" & @CRLF)
    EndIf

Use @UserName before you launch the exe, and if needed pass that as a command line parameter.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
