It is possible to do it on CMD with the use of the command whoami. It will display to you the current user logged on.

Just a remark, it is that you can have two kinds of diplays:
1- If you are using a domain account, you will have the following display:
NetBIOS-Domain-Name\User-account-name (example: MICROSOFT\Ahmed)
2-If you are using a local account, you will have the following display: PC-Name\User-account-name
(example: PC-de-Ahmed\Ahmed)

You mean the user is asking for his own login? In this case whoami or echo %username% in cmd prompt.
Or you want to know the user logged on i.e. on a remote system?
Try the command
wmic /node:computername ComputerSystem GET UserName
(replace computername with the name of the system you want to query)
The firewall on the target system must be configured to allow WMI requests and maybe you need to have administrator permissions on the remote system.
