Based on the docs, Environment.Username gets the user that started the current thread. If you are doing any type of impersonation this may possibly be off. WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name could work in that case. But for a webservice, HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name would also take into consideration the calling user context (if ntlm is used for ex). Id try that first.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Andrews Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 1:30 PM To: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Determining who I'm running as in Web Service? Guys, Is it possible to determine who I'm running as in a web service? I've got a web service that's running that's calling a COM component. When I run the web service from the test harness that's created by default by Visual Studio, it works fine. I adjusted the Component Services My Computer properties and added ASP_NET to both Access and Launch Activation properties. This allowed the web service to run just fine in the test environment. Now when I call it from my web application, I get the same error "Can't create ActiveX Component" from the .NET Framework. Any ideas?
