Returning username rather than computername in 2008 server

[robin4767]

I want to use an application under Windows 2008 Server (64-bit) that uses the
computer name as a unique identifier. To have this unique identifier under TS
I need to return the username rather than the computername. This is explained
under KB190159, but it seems that this is not working for the 64-bit OS. Does
this KB article also apply to the 64-bit OS or is there another way to get
this to work?

Robin,

this should work, but for an 32-bit app on 64-bit OS you have to set the
flag also in the hive HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\...
Put in in both!

Hello Oliver,

Thanks for your help, but unfortunately this is not working for me. I have
set the flags DWORD to 1f in both hives, but the application still receives
the real name of the computer instead of the username that is connected to
the terminal.
