Localy Logged in User first name and surname and username

VB

Hi,

I have tried everything for the last two weeks and can't solve the following problem:

Dim LogonUserFName As String = UserPrincipal.Current.GivenName
Dim LogonUserSName As String = UserPrincipal.Current.Surname
Dim LogonUserID As String = UserPrincipal.Current.SamAccountName

MsgBox(LogonUserFName & " " & LogonUserSName & " " & LogonUserID)

The issue is that this calls the active directory for the information. I'm using a tablet to do some inspecting off site and I need to know who is logged into the tablet. The error I'm getting is that the server could not be contacted.

I know that this information is also stored locally somewhere in windows because it shows my first name and last name on the start menu when I'm logged in offline.

I have also tried:

Dim UserName As String = My.User.Name
MsgBox(UserName)

and

Dim UserName As String = Environment.UserName
MsgBox(UserName)

aswell as

Dim usernameID As String = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name
MsgBox(UserName)

The problem with all the methods above is that they only return the "User Login Name" which in my case is a 8 Digit number.

Any help, ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
