Checking amount of users

[Helen]

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can get the number of users from a server using autoit? I know how to get processes and services, was wondering if there was a command for amount of users.

Kind Regards,

Helen.

Hi,

From a server? or from a remote computer? What kind of user?

Br, FireFox.

Server just amount of users connected to it. Looking to make a load monitor.

You could try the TCP connection monitor written by trancexx.

But maybe the service the server provides gives you more information. Let's say a terminal server should provide the number of active connections.

I use this little dos-batch to query the amount of RDP users (excluding the admins):

query user | find "rdp-tcp#" | find /I /V "admin" | find /c "Active"

From there it's just a small step to querying it remotely.

Edit:

Actually the "query" command has the ability to check remote servers:

C:>query user /?
Display information about users logged on to the system.

QUERY USER [username | sessionname | sessionid] [/SERVER:servername]

  username            Identifies the username.
  sessionname         Identifies the session named sessionname.
  sessionid           Identifies the session with ID sessionid.
  /SERVER:servername  The server to be queried (default is current).

I found the program on a Win2003 Server and a Win7 PC.
