Hi there... One easy solution can be

net view > c:\loggedon.txt

at the command prompt and then manipulate the text file any way you want

Hello Angel,
Thanks for your reply. But I want to use this in a program and feed the
results in to an asp.net web application. Do you think the net view can
be used in that sense.?
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments and tips.

Note that this returns the computers on the network that have their
"Netbios" name broadcasted, that doesn't mean there are currently inteactive
users logged on as asked by OP.

Unless you are running in a domain (be it NT4 or AD), there is no easy way
to know the machines that have users logged on.
If you have a domain infrastructure, you can use System.DirectoryServices to
query the machine names in the domain, when you have a list of machines you
can use System.Management and WMI to query the logon sessions running on
each box individually.
