Hi,

With this piece of code

System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString();

I can get the Windows User ID. But not the Firstname and Lastname of an person. For example, companies gives an employee a Windows ID with login name WS0046P, so if I use my line of code I will get the Windows ID.

I just want to receive the Firstname and Lastname of a Windows User

Thanks in advance
