This piece of sample code explains how to retrieve the Logged on User and Domain name on Win NT/2000 using Win32 functions. .
The function GetUserName is used for retrieving the logged on user name. The LookupAccountNameA is used to find out the domain name of the user.
The following piece of code has a separate scripted function GetDomain(), which does all the initializations and declarations needed for LookupAccountNameA function. Then it returns the domain name associated with the logged on user name. It takes two input parameters viz., User Name and a pointer to the SID, Security Identifier.
The given GetDomain() function can be used for finding the domain name of any user in the domain or in the computer with no/little modifications.
