Hi all,

I'm trying to get the full user name, not just the logged in name.  I have
looked into the LookupAccountName function, but am having some problems
understand what I'm all supposed to do.  Is there a way to get the name the
user is logged in as and then go get their full system information, like
first/last name?

Thanks in advance,

Randel Bjorkquist

NetUserGetInfo() with the dwLevel parameter set to 2 or higher.

Hey Remy,

I am trying your suggestion, but am getting the compiler error "[C++ Error]
Main.cpp(71): E2268 Call to undefined function 'NetUserGetInfo'".  I do not
see what I'm missing.  The GetUserName() function is working just fine.
I just don't get it.  do you have any suggestions?

Hey Remy,

Ok...I got it to compile.  Well not without errors, but at least I got it to
recognize the "NetUserGetInfo()" function.  Can you give me a simple example
of what I need to get it to work?

Thanks for the help,

Randel

Hey Remy,

One of the guys I work with and I finally got it to work.  So no need for
the example.  Thanks again for your help.

You probably did not include the header file for it:

    #include <lmaccess.h>
