Get full domain userid

ayashi

How to get full domain name and login ? If the login information is DOMAIN\john, the USERID field only return the value of "john" instead of full login information "DOMAIN\john".

I need this function because I created a user authorization table which consist of windows login user (the customer use windows authentication), my table keeps the record of login which is a completed information "DOMAIN\john" (lookup from windows login table), when it comes to user comparison, the system can't find if the user actually exists on the table, because USERID command only return "john".

Try to use automation "'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshNetwork" for getting more info about the logged user. (UserName and UserDomain properties).

message(environ('USERDOMAIN') + '\' + USERID) ;

Should give you the information as well.

better:

message('%1',environ('USERDOMAIN') + '\' + USERID);

Otherwise the \ is interpreted as a carriage return-line feed.
