"net command" to find out who is logged in ? 1

[hellbeach]

Hello everyone
Is there any way of finding out who is logged in to a workstation in our LAN using for example the "net" command ?

 

[satrow]

'net view' would give the machine names.

The command to use is:
If your computer name is mycomputer

nbtstat -a mycomputer

 

[bcastner]

net session

I like member Hayes47's response, but this is a little hard to interpret.

The Net.exe with the "session" parameter as shown above shows connected Windows stations on a host Windows device offering shares.

I also use nbtstat to get the username, but i use this variant:

nbtstat -a computername | find "03"

This will (usually) list 2 lines, one being the computer name, the other the user name.

 

[danomac]

I should mention that username/computername accounts have a type of "(03) UNIQUE" in the nbtstat results, which is why I use the above command.

If you download the MS support tools there is a command called whoami which display user loged on.

Or paste this in a text file and save as a batch file

run it normally to see brief results or run it from a command line with '> C:\logged.txt' appended to it to pipe it to a text file

I would take a different tack.

Use the MMC, add remove snap-in select SHARED FOLDERS

once the snap-in arrives, select SESSIONS. Now you should see who is out and about on the network.
