System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name

I am getting the name as "SYSTEM" and not the logged in user's name. And I know that this is because the service is run at the system level.


That's correct. Your service is running with the privileges of the system account.

I can now get the currently logged in user name. But, this requires the user to enter his user name and password when the service is being installed and I do not want that to happen.


It would be a breach in security if you could impersonate that user without them entering a password for their account. Either your database needs to grant access to the builtin system-account, or the service needs to run under it's own account, or you use the users' account.

If you're using SQL Server, then you might want to switch to a SQL-login (as compared to Windows Authentication). You wouldn't want to do that with the 'sa' user, but it would get you started Smile | :)
