wmic to get the username of a remote computer

I'm using C# Winforms and I'm trying to get the user name that currently logged on a speitific computer on the domain. I can achieve it by opening CMD with administrator privileges, and then type this line:

wmic.exe /node:(computername or ip address) computersystem get username

The result is:

UserName
Domain\real-user-name

However, I wants to get only the "real-user-name". How can I get it without substring, via WMIC?

Solution

  • As Am_I_Helpful mentioned in the comments, it is too good and important that the result of the wmic command is with a domain name.

    Therefore, probably, the only option to get only the username is by using substring() method on the wmic command output.
