Can system service identify current active user?

Hi.
Can system service identify current active user with .net?
I need current active user's logon name from system service.
I tried WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name and it gave me "NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" even I did logon.
Thank you for your help in advance.

"System.Environment.UserName" returned the result as "SYSTEM".
Because I logged in as "frank", I wish I could get username "frank".
I am testing it on Win2K. But I think it should be the same on WinXP.

You can use WMI's Win32_LoggedOnUser, but this is only supported in
Win-XP and Windows 2003. Does this need to work on Win2K ?

I am running my application as a system service with LocalSystem account.
Are you running your application with LocalSystem account?
