Hello Marco,

Thank you for your message.

I've forwarded this question to our development department and asked for their input on this.

I'll get back to you with an update from our developers shortly.

Hello Marco,

Thank you for your patience.

I've checked with our developers on this question - the User field in the "Operating System" section displays the name of a user that is currently logged on. This property must have a value. In a terminal services session, UserName returns the name of the user that is logged on to the console not the user logged on during the terminal service session.

Hope that helps.

Hi Polina,
are you sure?
I've just tested and it seems something different.
Maybe the user that registered the OS?

Hello Marco,

Of course, I've checked this with our development department, so this is the information I got directly from the developers. For more information please also try referring to this Microsoft Documentation page.

Hope that helps.
