I am creating a console application in c#. My requirement is to get the UserID or Email ID (NOT THE USERNAME) of the logged in user.

This application will be installed on the different client machine and each client machine will send to data to server. I need to distinguish the data on the server on the basis of machine id and userId. Currently I am getting "AzureAD\FirstNameLastName".

Also, what will be the case if office365 is not used, I mean will there be any change in code in case user is not configured in Office365?

What I have tried:

System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name

What is this user id that you do want? You said that you don't want the username, but the username is unique key in windows.
I found a post on how to get a unique ID from a logged-in user in the Windows session. Id changes every session. Is this?
