Is it possible to pull the login of the person that scheduled the job in DS? I would like to write it to my INI file that stores build info on client machines. I would like to start tracking which Help Desk task built which computer.

You'll want to use the "%JOBUSER%" token.  That should get the information for you.  We're setting it in a registry file and then importing that Imaging stamp into the registry and collecting the information with a custom inventory.

You'll want to watch for a couple of gotchas on that. 
1. Security has to be enabled
2.  If you have a job or task that schedules a 2nd job then the %JOBUSER% token won't work inside the 2nd job.
