A sample function to retrieve logged on "Computer Name + User Name +
CString CRegBatchDlg::StartLog()
{
/* this function just returns the initial logging string by returning computername, user name and domain name simply I did not want to use NetWkstaUserGetInfo(...) since NET API functions consume too much time... */
CString str1, str2, str3;
// The name of the computer running this code.
TCHAR szComputerName[MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH+1];
DWORD dwCompNameBufferSize = MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH;
GetComputerName(szComputerName, &dwCompNameBufferSize);
szComputerName[dwCompNameBufferSize] = '\0';
str1.Format(_T("%s"),szComputerName);
// get current username running the current thread
TCHAR szUserName[dwNameLength];
DWORD dwUserName = sizeof szUserName / sizeof TCHAR;
GetUserName(szUserName, &dwUserName );
str2.Format(_T("%s"), szUserName);
// get the domain name via Environment Variable
TCHAR szDomainName[dwNameLength];
DWORD dwDomainNameLength = ExpandEnvironmentStrings(_T("%USERDOMAIN%"),
szDomainName, dwNameLength);
str3.Format(_T("%s"), szDomainName);
return _T("##### Starting REGBATCH operations; Computername:") + str1 +
_T(", UserName:") + str2 + _T(", DomainName:") + str3 + _T(" #####\n");
