I was wondering if there was a simple way to use WMI to get you the current windows user name with domain. The Windows API call just gets you the short username, so you end up doing another call for the domain name. I have some code, but I get an automation error. Any ideas? I think I'm on the right path, but I am a little new to WMI.
Function GetFullName() As String Dim computer As String computer = "." Dim objWMIService, colProcessList As Object Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & computer & "\root\cimv2") Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT TOP 1 * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'EXCEL.EXE'") Dim uname, udomain As String Dim objProcess As Object For Each objProcess In colProcessList objProcess.GetOwner uname, udomain Next GetFullName = UCase(udomain) & "\" & UCase(uname) End Function
UPDATE: see comments on accepted answer
How about
There is no TOP 1 clause in WQL. Leave it out and your query should work:
