This doesnt seem to be an issue with windows XP. But I have an end user (my boss!!!) using windows 7 64 bit... In one of our apps we are grabbing the end user user name via:

    HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString.Substring
(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString.IndexOf("\") + 1).ToLower

For me it is returning the correct user name for instance "jhermiz".

When my boss tries getting into the app, it thinks he is Administrator???

Does anyone know of any alternative or why this might be happening? The reason this is an issue is because I use that user name to pull other information...

This is visual studio 2003.
