Retrieve Logged on Windows User Names in Remote Machines

Hello, 

 

I have many people working on different computers over a network and I have the Ip number of these machines.

 

What I would like to do is to know the windows user name of the user that is logged on each of these remote machines.

 

I have found this article on how to retrieve the windows user name from a local machine, I would like to do that on a set of remote machines.

 

Is that possible?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

GPC 

 

PS: I am not the network administrator nor have access to the server. I have administrator privileges over the machines that I would like to retrieve the information from.

HI GPC,

this should be possible with the "net" command in the cmd window. See the help for more details on it.

Maybe "net user" is what you need.

Hi, 

 

I tried all the options given by the 'net help' command and all I could get was the user logged on my PC using the 'net user' command or the list of all computers on the network using the 'net view' command.

 

Is there anything else I could do?

 

Thanks,

 

GPC

Hi GPC,

you can write a program which connects to a server in your hand.
