Getting Remote Usernames

[Espada]

I am looking for a way to write a little script which will detect who is logged on to a classroom pc from my laptop and if they are not supposed to be in that seat then it will log them off.

The logging off bit is easy but I cannot figure out how to get the name of the user on a remote machine without having some client on that machine which I want to avoid.

I think a small client on the machines would be necessary... but maybe the next post will prove me wrong LOL

Indeed it will.

Option 1:

Command line utility PsLoggedOn, can query local or remote:

Option 2:

Google cached page, vb.net:

Option 3:

WMI check owner of explorer.exe process

For list of PC names (which are logged on) you can use NET VIEW.

But it's not for get list of user names.
