MD: The current implementation fetches the current USERDOMAIN and USERNAME.
Those values do not fit into the Office user settings field INITIALS from my
point of view.

I understand the intention of this bugfix, but if we can't get any information
about INITIALS from the system, we should better leave this feature than
implementing it by using wrong data.

At least on Windows systems, no information about INITIALS is provided by the
system. A user account on Windows platform offers one string for FULLNAME and
one for USERNAME. Both are not INITIALS. We can't even use the FULLNAME string
in our Office fields NAME and SURENAME since we wouldn't know how to separate
parts from FULLNAME.

My recommendation is to turn this fix back and leave the fields empty from
automation point of view. Leave entering of user data up to the users as it was.

Regarding the idea to get information about which user has currently locked a
file, you may find a different approach to address that issue by directly
implementing this information about USERDOMAIN and USERNAME into the file
locking processes. But that is separated from properties discussed here.
