Local Logged In User

PowerShell Help
1

I’m trying to come up with a way to get a display or friendly name for a local user logged into their PC.

2

Can you give a little more information on what you’re ultimately trying to accomplish? Are you trying to create a “Hello Tim” message? Are these accounts local to the machine, or are they domain accounts?

3

This has been working for me
Get-WmiObject -class “win32_computersystem” -namespace “root\CimV2” -ComputerName $ComputerName | Select username

4

I’m using this for local user:

$env:username

And this for domain user:

"$env:userdomain\$env:username"

And I want to know what do you want to achieve too =p

5

And while both of those will give a user name, I wanted to know more about Tim’s intention. If he’s interested in local accounts, there really is no concept of a display name or friendly name in the LSA.

Local accounts have FullName or Description

$u = [adsi]“WinNT://$env:Computername/Administrator”
$u.FullName
$u.Description
