Find currently logged on user in ms crm 4.0

Question

 

Hi,

 

We are working on MS CRM 4.0 (RTM). 

 

We have a requirement, wherein on click of a custom button (created through ISV.CONFIG), I need to find the currently logged in user's userid and pass it as a querystring to one of the URL.

 

I tried the following Javascript code, but it throws an error...

 

//make a who am i request
var whoAmIRequest = new RemoteCommand("SystemUser", "WhoAmI", "/MSCRMServices/");
//execute the command and obtain a response
var response = command.Execute();
//get the user id from the response xml
var userIdString = response.Xml.text;

alert(userIdString);

 

any help in this regard is very helpful and greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!!!
