Hi All,

I have come across an error that occurred on a 'portal' page for my company. It said the error was sent to IT. Would my user name be included in the error as the person who received the error?

Dumb question but would like to know.

Moved to Computer Support and Operating Systems.

Yes, I would assume that the error report will collect in it as much information as possible to later trace the way the error appeared.

I would expect a lot more than just your username was sent. Probably, IP address, OS, web browser, username, and time (at least) then they probably cross reference that against a log database of all the pages you accessed in order (along with timestamps) in an attempt to recreate the error, and then solve it.
