Powershell - Find the user who invoked the script

I have a script(Let's call it myPSScript.ps1) which takes two parameters and performs predefined steps. Script is located in a Windows Server box which people login and execute the script. Supports two users to be logged in at the given time.

I want to find out who invoked the 开发者_运维百科script.

(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Process | Where-Object {$_.ProcessName -eq 'explorer.exe'}).GetOwner() | Format-Table Domain, User 

This works when the user is logged in currently and trying to run the script. But what if I have a batch file in scheduled tasks and run the same script?

In that case the same command returns a null exception, as there is no one logged into the machine.

Is there a way to find out who/which process invoked the powershell script. I vaguely remember Start-Transcript records which user the command is run from etc, so this should be possible?

Thanks! Sanjeev

Interesting question. I wrote a script with three different ways to get the user like so:

([Environment]::UserDomainName + "\" + [Environment]::UserName) | out-file test.txt
"$env:userdomain\$env:username" | out-file -append test.txt
[Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name | out-file -append test.txt
notepad test.txt

Saved it as test.ps1 and called it using runas as:

runas /user:domain\user "powershell e:\test.ps1"

And I got the domain\user all three times in the output. Used runas to just distinguish between the user I am logged in as (me!!) and the domain\user with which I was running it as. So it does give the user that is running the script.
