Discovering Users Loged on

[SteveAudus]

Is there a quick way of finding out who is logged onto what machine on my network?

Could I write a batch file to echo back a list of machines and their present user?

I know I can get this information from Server Manager,
but I need it in a simple form for a Teacher to read.

try "nbtstat -a IP-Number"

 

[SteveAudus]

This works, sort of.
But it throws back I lot of information I do not require.

Is there any extensions or tips you can give me,
as I just want the present user that is logged on,
to a workstation?

Cheers,
Steve

From the resource kit......

::Maybe something like this
xcopy c:\ntreskit\whoami.exe \\%1\shared_name\winnt
xcopy c:\ntreskit\rcmdsvc.exe \\%1\shared_name\winnt
sc \\%1 create "Remote command" binpath= c:\winnt\rcmdsvc.exe
sc \\%1 start "Remote Command"
rcmd \\%1 c:\winnt\whoamI.exe >>c:\temp\current_user.txt
xcopy \\%1\shared_name\temp\current_user.txt c:\batchfile_dir
:on't know, Is this something along the lines that you wanted?


I can easily write a perl script to do this for ever machine in the domain, let me know if this is on the right track! HTH - Mike

Something like that would be spot on,
Could you send me a example batch file,
as I have never used rcmd & rcmdsrc

Well, actually the above was what I was thinking.

(RCMDSVC.exe) is the file that you copy to your client. You then setup a service, name it what ever you like, the above is "Remote Command", to call on the executable.

(RCMD.exe) is the executable you call from your command line to remote into the clients macine (RCMDSVC.exe) and you are know running as a back ground process with YOUR user rights.

Try this batch and change the sharename
The share_name has to point to the root of C: in this example, and the NTresKit must be installed on your c drive in a folder called ntreskit. Of course you can change this. Run batch like so:

mybatch.bat [Hostname]

of course omit the [] when running

xcopy c:\ntreskit\whoami.exe \\%1\shared_name\winnt
xcopy c:\ntreskit\rcmdsvc.exe \\%1\shared_name\winnt
sc \\%1 create "Remote command" binpath= c:\winnt\rcmdsvc.exe
sc \\%1 start "Remote Command"
rcmd \\%1 c:\winnt\whoamI.exe >>c:\temp\current_user.txt
mkdir c:\temp\%1
xcopy \\%1\shared_name\temp\current_user.txt c:\temp\%1
del \\%1\shared_name\temp\current_user.txt
