I see. I use getenv("USERNAME") to lookup a user's name and set a property that is used when generating unique codes in different spots in our application. Do you know what function will return the username of the current user logged into NT?

Thanks.

GetComputerName() returns the actual NetBIOS name of the station, and that can't be changed by the user during a session without causing the system to reboot.

The offending machines will not recognize any logins, the working machines will recogize all logins so I don't think it's a matter of errors in the table names or the code that parses the SYS(0) string.
