Who's logged on?

[dds82]

If I have the name of a computer on the local network, can I find out who's currently logged on to that computer? All the computers run Windows NT Workstation 4.0.

I am not 100% positive on this but I think you need to make an app that can send a message back to you. The call to find out who is logged on is:

char usrName[50];
DWORD dwUsrBufferSize = 50;

if(GetUserName((LPSTR)usrName,&dwUsrBufferSize))
{
return the usrName;
}

There's no API call that takes a computer name as a parameter and returns the username of who's logged on to that computer?

Also, if I have a username, how do I get that person's real name?

Thanks.

Use NetUserGetInfo().
