I was kind of blank when I started off with the link you provided but with
some searching i got into a post which got Queries and i used it this way :
objWMIService = win32com.client.Dispatch("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
strComputer = "."
objSWbemServices = objWMIService.ConnectServer(strComputer, "root\cimv2")
oos = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("SELECT UserName FROM Win32_ComputerSystem")
oo = oos[0]
# list all object properties
for op in oo.Properties_:
username = op.Value
while debugging it, i got <COMPUTER_NAME>\<USERNAME> but when i
installed the service and started it it kept crashing and the reason
behind it was :
(-2147221008, 'CoInitialize has not been called.', None, None)
i have no idea whether i did it correctly, please guide me if it's wrong !
Thank you a lot !
