get Hostname of the Client connected to the TerminalServer session

[JRSmile]

This Function gets the Hostname of the Client on the Terminal Server,

can be used to determine the correct std printer near the location of the client while working on the terminal server session.

Func _GetWTSClientName($sid)
Local $result = DllCall("Wtsapi32.dll", "int", "WTSQuerySessionInformation", "Ptr", 0, "int", $sid, "int", 10, "ptr*", 0, "dword*", 0)
If @error Or $result[0] = 0 Then Return SetError(1, 0, "")
Local $ip = DllStructGetData(DllStructCreate("byte[" & $result[5] & "]", $result[4]), 1)
DllCall("Wtsapi32.dll", "int", "WTSFreeMemory", "ptr", $result[4])
Return StringReplace(BinaryToString($ip), Chr(0), "")
EndFunc   ;==>_GetWTSClientName

Hi J

Thanks

If i understand this correct this has to be run from a terminalsession and determines the hostname of the computer which runs the terminalsession

What do you mean by "this doesn't work"?

Do you get an invalid result? Do you get an error message? Does your script crash? What operating system does the client run? 32/64 bit? What operating system does the terminal server run? Etc. etc.

Please be more specific - just: "doesn't work" isn't enough to solve a problem

you are right, my fault.

anyway, the doesn't work means there's just " " returned. or maybe anyone has the example for the function?

Im Sorry that i have Witten so less about the Funktion, but i just found it in an Archive of Mine an thought ist could be usefull for you guys, the Funktion returns the hostname if the Client Computer which is connected via rdp on a terminal Server Session, the function Must be called with the credentials of the User currently logged on and be executed on the terminalserver itself.

I use it like $hostname = wtsgetclientname()

$username= @username

And like so you can determine the connected User and the connected client.

Regreat to say that still could not understand the function...and you said, the function must be called with the credentials of the user currently logged on.. but if I, for example:

1. Used User UID1 logon the Server SRV1 from machine PC1

2. Can call the function from PC2 with User UID2 (UID2 is also in the SRV1's local administrators group) to check who has logged on the SRV1 and from Which client?
