Vista - how to know who is the user connected to a specific computer ?

Hi everybody, how could i know which user is connected at the moment on a
specific machine ?

I think the WMI could be a solution, but i don't know how to make it
function, and i think they are some other better solutions.

please help me

bye
Nico

if you have Administrator permissions to that machine with your logged in
account (we use it that way from a server Remotedesktop) and the PCs
firewall is not blocking the attempts you could use following batch:

@echo off
cls
if "%1"=="" GOTO Comment
wmic /node:%1 ComputerSystem GET UserName
goto end
:Comment
Echo Parameter required: Computername
:End

The other way I use, if I'm not Administrator but member of a group, which
is allowed unsolicitated remote assistance I could use the Remote assistance
link either from Help and Support or with a specific link, which is in XP
"hcp://CN=Microsoft%20Corporation,L=Redmond,S=Washington,C=US/Remote%20Assistance/Escalation/Unsolicited/Unsolicitedrcui.htm"
in Vista with
%systemroot%\system32\msra.exe /expert
(Vistas version is instantly trying to connect with this command after you
entered the computer name)

gwmi Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName foopc1 | select Name,UserName

is probably your best bet.
