whoami?

Using

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy
(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal);
WindowsPrincipal principal = (WindowsPrincipal)
Thread.CurrentPrincipal;
WindowsIdentity identity = (WindowsIdentity)
principal.Identity;
MessageBox.Show("You Are "+ identity.Name);

In this example, "identity.Name" holds my username as user
of my local PC.

If at the same time I'm logged in to a W200x server with a
different username, how do I get this last one?
