Hugo,

Could you take a look at Message# 954634. I posted a question to Sergey in regards to using WNetGetUser and would like to pose the same question to you in regards to WMI.

Thanks again for your input.

AFAIK, WMI uses an internal database, but I ignore how that database gets populated, I also ignore how the environment variables get populated, sorry. Anyways, I do not believe it will be easy for a common end user to change the WMI database to fake it's identity, and I also doubt they will be able to change the environment to fake a user, at least I do not know how to change it :)
