Find out which user is logged on to a PC

[Joe Spenceley]

Hi,

How can I find out which user is currently logged on to a PC?

We have a Win 2K Active Directory domain and Win2K Pro and XP Pro desktops.

Thanks,
Joe

Run NBTstat.exe against the IP or Host_Name of the platform.

You'll get a result such as...

nbtstat -A 192.168.1.99

Local Area Connection:
Node IpAddress: [192.168.1.99] Scope Id: []

NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table

Name Type Status

DLIPMAN-1 <00> UNIQUE Registered
DLIPMAN-1 <20> UNIQUE Registered
MY-DOMAIN <00> GROUP Registered
DLIPMAN-1 <03> UNIQUE Registered
MY-DOMAIN <1E> GROUP Registered
LIPMAN <03> UNIQUE Registered
MY-DOMAIN <1D> UNIQUE Registered
..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered
