Username

[PerthBok]

How do you get the username of the user who initiated an application execution?

PerthBok, have you read FAQ222-2244 yet?

Try the GetUserName API...

Good Luck

Does GetUserName not just get the current user of the workstation. What if you're running terminal server and want to monitor all applications and the User who initiated the application?

Appreciate the help

Yes you are correct. So perhaps reading FAQ222-2244 will help you in being a bit more clear in exactly what you are asking.

Good Luck

Are you looking for API functions or for a program that will give you this info?

I've found API's to list all processes running on a machine. We are running terminal server though and I want to log who is the User that "owns" the application. I have tried GetTokenInformation but this seems to give the username of the server machine and not the user who "owns" the app. Sorry a bit difficult to describe.

Thanks for the response
