Get The WindowsIdentity Object For Logged-on User In An Application Running As Another User?
Jul 18, 2011
I'm running an application under an account that is not the account logged-on to the PC.
Within the application I need check if the logged-on user is a member of the Administrators group. Below is the code I'm using. From what I've read, WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() should return an object associated with the logged-on user. It doesn't, it returns the same information as the call to System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal. Which is the information associated to the ID running the application, not the logged-on user.

I have a window service that Inherits System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase. While running in debug mode (havent tested compiled), the thread does not see the current user credentials. I need the credentials so I can set up the WebProxy and I would prefer to use the account that service is running under instead of passing the user and pwd as a string.Can someone help me figure out why the code running in the class the inherits from ServiceBase does not have have the credentials of the logged in user?

I am using VB in VS 2008. I have written a program which loads data into SQL Server nightly. It is a Windows Forms application which runs well from Task Scheduler when a user is logged in. However when I try to run it when there is no user logged in, the program starts but it just sits idle.

I'm in a ASP.NET application using Windows Authentication.I'm using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to get the username of the currently authenticated user, which gets me a username in the format DOMAINUSERNAME. This is working fine.Is there an easy way to convert this to a display name (e.g. "Richard Gadsden") like the one that appears on the top of my start menu in XP?If I have to, I guess I can go through System.DirectoryServices and query into ADSI, but surely there's an easier way?

Which is the best way to store application and user settings of an application running with multiple instances?My problem is that using the vb's "Application Settings" one instance would overwrite the other one.I want to identify each instance with a number passed via command line argument. I could use this number to identify the appropriate settings of the running instance, but I see in a local INI o XML file a better way to handle that.

I have an application which is running off multiple user desktops (app is in vb.net/vs 2008). The application pulls its data from an SQL 2005 Server (which holds all of the main data tables as well as a bunch of reference tables). So for different projects, the application pulls in data from the main tables... ie, Project ID, Project Cost...and so on.. The data is contained by ID's and when the data is imported into the application, the look up tables are used to convert the ID's to names.. so instead of project ID, the user would see the actual project name. Before the data is written back to the db, it is converted back to ID's ... anyways, there are a bunch of these look up tables, (for vendors, different expenditure codes, projects, sub projects.

I have an application which uses hotkeys which are to be defined by the user. It is a combination of 2 keys, either CTRL, ALT, SHIFT as one hotkey and the F* Function keys as the other (e.g. CTRL + F1, ALT + F2 or SHIFT + F8) As stated these are then chosen by the user before a global keyhook is put in place to listen for them and trigger an event. In my app I have all my function keys as follows:
Public Const VK_F1 = &H70
Public Const VK_F2 = &H71
Public Const VK_F3 = &H72

I am using Microsoft visual basic 2010 for a asp.net site using c#.I am using the asp.net configuration for user registration. I have a comments form which I want to appear only if a user is logged in.I now there is a toolbox helper thing called Login View which does exactly what I want but as soon as I put a form inside the code won't compile because it cannot find the textbox fields.
I have the following in NewsArticle.aspx:
<asp:LoginView ID="LoginView1" runat="server">
<AnonymousTemplate>
<div class="postcomment">
[code]....
If I take the form out of asp:LoginView it works fine. Inside I get the following:
Error 2 The name 'txtTitle' does not exist in the current context NewsArticle.aspx.cs 59 53 Figmentville
Error 3 The name 'txtComment' does not exist in the current context NewsArticle.aspx.cs 59 68 Figmentville

I'm writing software in VB .NET (2005) which uses the Windows user information as login credentials - just the username. I've found Environment.UserName which works for the username (as you would expect).However, I need more information - I need the full name of the user (as shown on the Start Menu). It seems this information is stored... somewhere, as Windows is able to use it for things like permissions on file shares.

I keep a Session variable when the user is logged in. So that when the user click on btnLogout it must clear all my sessions and Log the User out for GOOD!!!
It does clear my sessions but if i click the BACK button in IE right after i logged out then i am still logged in! Meaning it goes back to screen where the user was still logged into.
My code on log out
protected void btnLogout_Click
{
Session.Clear();
Session.Abandon();
[Code]....
Is there maybe an option in code i can do that will disable the user from pressing the BACK button in the Web Browzer?

I need to create a spreadsheet of which kit is assigned to which person, within the company.
We have desktops & laptops, for the purpose of this post, we'll say desktops are named DESKTOP then a random 3 digit number (DESKTOP001, DESKTOP002 etc.) and laptops are named LAPTOP then a random 3 digit number (LAPTOP001, LAPTOP002 etc.)
I'm presuming the best way of checking which user uses each workstation would be to check who last logged in to it. doing this for ALL computers in a certain OU (lets say DESKTOP_OU for desktops and LAPTOP_OU for laptops in this example) (either with VB Script or PowerShell I would presume) and to export it to Excel.
