Hello i want to run windows service on client machine that makes an entry of Current user logon in server database
well i tried three ways to do it
1) Enviroment.username
2) System.security.Principals.windowsidentity.getCurrent();
3) through windows registry
All three methods work well when i use them in console application but when i make a windows service the first two returns me name of user who started the service and third method returns me nothing
Here's my code that is written in my start method
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////*******************************//////////////////////////////////////////
SqlConnection con;
SqlCommand cmd;
SqlDataReader dr;
String str1,str2;
DateTime dt=DateTime.Now;
RegistryKey hkcu=Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software").OpenSubKey("Microsoft");
RegistryKey hkt=hkcu.OpenSubKey("Windows").OpenSubKey("CurrentVersion").OpenSubKey("Explorer");
str2= (string)hkt.GetValue("Logon User Name");
FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\jk.txt",FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter SR = new StreamWriter(fs);
SR.WriteLine(str2);
SR.Flush();
str1="insert into Attendence Values('"+ str2 +"','Time In','Time Out','"+dt.ToString()+"','Present','null')";
con= new SqlConnection("Data Source=INSSS9;Initial Catalog=Attentence System;User Id=sa;Password=sa123;" );
cmd = new SqlCommand(str1,con);
con.Open();
dr=cmd.ExecuteReader();
dr.Close();
con.Close();

Would you be able to install the service on each machine or just the domain controller If it is just the domain controller, then there is no accurate way of doing this.
I did find a script which claims to do the same for a single machine: Note that it also lists other service accounts. Save the file as a .VBS extension and double click on it. Removing Machine name from the query should make it work for domain.
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
If objArgs.count = 1 Then
strComputer = objArgs(0)
Else
' Retrieve local computer name.
Set objWshNet = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
strComputer = objWshNet.ComputerName
End If
Set objWMI = GetObject("WinMgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//" _
& strComputer & "/root/cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMI.ExecQuery _
("Select Name from Win32_UserAccount WHERE Domain = '" _
& strComputer & "'",,48)
For Each objItem In colItems
Wscript.Echo "User name: " & objItem.Name
Next

This is a very interesting question. There is a problem here because the Windows Service can run as a separate identity and does not even require any user to explicitly logged on to the machine. And on the other end, there might be many users logged on. So who do you consider as the logged on user
