How do you find the current user in a Windows environment?
When running a command-line script, is it possible to get the name of the current user?
Solution 1:
You can use the username variable: %USERNAME%
Solution 2:
Username:
echo %USERNAME%
Domainname:
echo %USERDOMAIN%
You can get a complete list of environment variables by running the command set from the command prompt.
Solution 3:
Just use this command in command prompt
C:\> whoami
Solution 4:
It should be in %USERNAME%. Obviously this can be easily spoofed, so don't rely on it for security.
Useful tip: type set in a command prompt will list all environment variables.
