Cyri Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Is there a simple method to detect whether a user is logged into a computer? My script is running as the SYSTEM account in non-interactive mode and I want to detect if a user is logged on to the console of WinXP workstations. I did find the Win32_ComputerSystem class in WMI which has a UserName value which appears to show the console user. I see some posts out there saying that the UserName field isn't consistent. Anyone know of other ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyri Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/logonsessions.aspx This article might help. Thanks, that helps explain the different ways to find the information. I was hoping there was already a UDF that had this nailed down already. Time to stop being lazy... For now I'm using this utnil I can find something better. Func IsLoggedOn($strComputer = ".") Dim $objWMIService, $objItem, $colUsers $wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10 $wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20 $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2") $colUsers = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE UserName <> NULL", "WQL", _ $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly) For $objItem in $colUsers Return 1 Next EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
