    Script: Who’s Logged on to remote PC

    Filed under: Scripts;

    If you manage a network, you know how useful it is to be able to know who is logged on a remote machine.  Here is a VB Script that will tell you exactly that!

    ComputerName = InputBox("Enter the name of the computer you wish to query")

    winmgmt1 = "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//"& ComputerName &""

    Set UserSet = GetObject( winmgmt1 ).InstancesOf ("Win32_ComputerSystem")

    for each User in UserSet
        MsgBox "The user name for the specified computer is: " & User.UserName
    Next

    .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
    {
    font-size: small;
    color: black;
    font-family: consolas, “Courier New”, courier, monospace;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    /*white-space: pre;*/
    }
    .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
    .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
    .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
    .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
    .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
    .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
    .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
    .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
    .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
    .csharpcode .alt
    {
    background-color: #f4f4f4;
    width: 100%;
    margin: 0em;
    }
    .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }

    Copy the above code, save it as a vbs file, run it, enter the machine name, and it returns the logged on user!  Simple as that!  Note, you must be an administrator of the machine that you want to query.
