Added check to Windows.pm::user_logged_in to use the 'Administrator' username for imaging requests.

Updated Windows.pm::get_service_configuration to copy the reg export text file from the remote computer to the management node and then retrieve its contents locally.

> The get_service_configuration subroutine in Windows.pm may hang if the remote computer has a lot of data in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services part of the registry.  This is because it is calling reg_export which creates a text file on the remote computer, then get_file_contents is called which makes an SSH call to cat the file.  The cat output may be very lengthy.
> The code should be changed to copy the file to the management node and then retrieve its contents locally.
