    First add System.DirectoryServices as reference to your project, next use the next code
    Code:
             string servername = Environment.UserDomainName;
             string username = Environment.UserName;
    
             using (System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry domain = new
             System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(string.Format("WinNT://{0}/{1}", servername, username))) {
                string fullName = domain.Properties["FullName"].Value.ToString() ;            
             }
