When the computer is running with the user logged on, you should be able to use the following command to identify the logged on user: nbtstat -a <computername>. Alternatively you can use: nbtstat -A <ip_address>. The username will be displayed (along with other netbios information) with the netbios suffix <03> next to it (note: the computer name will also appear with this same suffix). The suffix <03> denotes the Windows Messenger service and is used when remote nodes wish to connect to a node's computer name or user name. Hope this helps!
