I want to get the username and domain when a user login to a PC. This one has to be get at the window login page. So I may check if they can have certain access. How can I do that?
 
on boot of windows, maybe have a program launch and check the current logged in user and domain for that user.
 
Now I want to change to the program have a login page asking for username and password.I want to get the username from the program and compare it with the domain which is used to login to window.if the user is not in that domain, then they will not be able to access the program.
please provide sample code if possible.
thanks
 
A bit more information may be needed!

Like operating system details

On the face of it maybe the GetUserNameEx api call may do what you require, but it is only available for Windows 2000 or XP.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
 
why not just set the security on the application to include only a certain group of users on the domain...
