Hi Friends,
I was hoping one of you can help me out. Is there a way that i can identify the current user who is logon to a particular pc. I have the computer name and ip address of the computer, i want to know who is currently login to that computer. I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

You are right squick.geo, but it seams that not everytime the "<03> logged on username" appears when you use nbtstat -a. At least, I used it a lot, but sometimes, it gave me nothing.

If these are standard Windows 2000 PCs on a domain without any odd configurations you can go to a command prompt and type "nbtstat -a " and that will give you the username of the currently logged in user. No need to download any third party utilities.

If you want to extract user name via a batch file/login script you could use SET command to display all the veriables and then simply extract the USERNAME line.
