HI,

I need some command line to find connected users.
Currently I do it using "netstat -a|find" , but this is too slow.
Anything faster available ?
thanks

You can try psloggedon. Never really tried it across a network though.

However, depending on the size of your fleet of computers, may I suggest something I use.

I wrote a script so that while a computer is connected to the LAN using a network cable, it writes on a server a text file with the PC as the name, the logged on user. Then I just search those text files for the user ID I'm looking for. Usual look up time less than a minute. It's also handy on laptops to see how often they are plugged in via the network cable.
 
OK, have found psloggedon utility.
However - it does not provide all the info "netstat -a" does for me ...
thanks

Long live king Moshiach !
