Vista Tutorial - how to get logged-in user credentials?

permalink · 09-02-2007

9# [System.Net.CredentialCache]:

efaultCredentials | fl

UserName :
Password :
Domain :

10# [System.Net.CredentialCache]:

efaultNetworkCredentials | fl

UserName :
Password :
Domain :

The above were my best guess so far, but they're blank!

Maybe I'm trying too hard; env:USERNAME and env:USERDOMAIN will get me
two-thirds of the way there.

Replying to myself here... I found these useful bits in my profile which PSCX
put there:

Set-PscxVariable NTIdentity ([Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent())

Set-PscxVariable NTAccount
($NTIdentity.User.Translate([Security.Principal.NTAccount]))

11# $ntaccount

Value
-----
