Get current user's credentials object in Powershell without prompting

Question

I have a Powershell script that is going to be run through an automation tool against multiple servers. It works fine on Windows machines, as the remote calls use the tool\'

Answer 1

"Trying [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials shows a blank, and [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent() doesn't provide the object or information I need."

You already have your answer. I use this to pass the currently logged in user's credentials along in several scripts:

$Credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
$Username = $Credentials.UserName
$Password = $Credentials.Password

If you try to dump them to any kind of readable output, those values are empty when you dump them (for obvious security reasons), however they do work where you need a PSCredential object.
