WHOAMI.exe (Resource kit)

Displays the username and domain for the currently logged in user.

The whoami output is the same as the 2 environment variables %USERDOMAIN% and %USERNAME%.

So the same output can be achieved with

ECHO %USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%

Under Windows 2000 there is an additional switch WHOAMI /all - this shows all permissions and group memberships.
