Current User

[T180985]

Sorry for the seemingly simple question but i dont seem to be able to find the answer on google. What i need to know is, is it possible to pull the current authenticated users username as a variable without manually setting it? e.g.

PS H:\> $username

PS H:\> T180985

I want to use it as part of a description when creating snapshots

In that case, try using $env:USERNAME

In that case, use

$global:DefaultVIServer.User
