I am writing a program that needs certain information from a pc on a
network. I have it written and it is a vb.net service. I need the
logged in user name. The app now returns a user "SYSTEM" because it is
a service. How does one get the logged in user?

Also, I need the IPAddress, THe Service Pack Level of the OS, and other
system information.

Can anyone point me to the appropriate class?

Not sure on that one.
Also, I need the IPAddress
System.Net.Dns.Resolve(System.Net.Dns.GetHostName).AddressList(0).ToString

THe Service Pack Level of the OS, and other
system information.

Hi Jim,

Have a look at the system.management class.

(You have to set a reference for that to use it)

I hope this helps?
