I am wondering what, if any, tool I can use from my server or workstation to see who is currently logged into a machine. I know about Query User but that only works for RDP sessions I believe.

(On the other hand, Remote Registry should be available, and it can be used to change that setting remotely.) –grawity May 25 '12 at 19:55 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote You should be able to use ping NETBIOSNAME to find the IP address of the mystery box. Your network folk should then be able to track the physical location for you. share|improve this answer answered May 26 '12 at 23:02 Harry Johnston 3,50141635 Heh.

servers, only two remote desktop sessions allowed with administrative access. There are situations, you can't connect to the server via remote desktop because of two sessions already active. You may have seen this dialog box. ("Remote Desktop Disconnected", "This computer can't connect to the remote computer") Usually Windows Administrators, open "Terminal Services Manager" (in Administrative tools), connect to the problematic server and log off the unwanted sessions. There are easy ways if you love command line based tools. Query the Remote Server for Current Terminal Sessions To query and list the sessions on the remote session, you could use QUser.exe or QWinsta 1. QUser QUser command comes with all the latest Windows clients and servers. This will list the sessions of the remote server (or local machine). NOTE: if you are using Windows XP, you need to add this location into your System path: C:WindowsSystem32DLLCache. To do this, in command prompt, type the following. SET PATH = %PATH%;C:WindowsSystem32DLLCache; QUser help shows, C:Anand>QUser /?Display information about users logged on to the system. QUERY USER [username | sessionname | sessionid] [/SERVER:servername] username Identifies the username. sessionname Identifies the session named sessionname. sessionid Identifies the session with ID sessionid. /SERVER:servername The server to be queried (default is current).
