I noticed in something Thomas Lee posted that you can also get current user by using:

$env:USERDOMAIN\$env:USERNAME

Also, I found the version number formats nicely with:

$host.version | foreach { write-host $_"." }

Thanks for your posts!

Yep, your right, I just copied this part from somewhere I actualy needed a real Principal for this purpose (only displaying) grabbing a Env var is as handy, i Just liked the ASCI art and wrote a quick script around it.

>Also, I found the version number >formats nicely with:

this will do the same ;-)

"$($host.version)"

embedded in a sting the ToString method will be called, so it is the same as this :

$($host.version).tostring()

>Thanks for your posts!

glad you like them, and thanks for your reaction.
