#32158 - 2002-11-11 01:01 PM Determine which user is logged on a remote machine
Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	I'm putting together a GUI to determine: which machines are in a domain if a user is logged-on on that machine which OS is remotely running As a start i was looking at the Computer Account Password Age from Chris, but i miss the part listed above. Can anyone help me with this or point me in the right direction. The machines are running W2K Pro SP3 and the person running the GUI has admin privs on the remote machine. [ 11.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ok, let's try: Identifying the User Logged on to a Remote Computer Enumerate Computer Accounts in Active Directory Identify the Operating System and to search more, just check the main folder: Microsoft Technet - Script Center the scripts are not kix but are so simple that it shouldn't be hard to translate them... was this the rigth direction? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	See item #2 on my page http://mywebpages.comcast.net/habullock/kix_solutions.htm. Most of the examples that that return the current user are looking for an interactive user. In the case you may be looking for all users currently logged on including services, there is code on my page. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Thankz Howard, but i'm trying to use Lonkero's suggestions Fine examples however !! Further, i'm looking at KixoMatic, which generates a part of the script.. I try the following code: code: $objWMIService=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\"+$objCom.Name+"\root\cimv2") $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem",,48) For each $objItem in $colItems $Item.SubItems(1)=$objItem.UserName Next $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem",,48) For each $objItem in $colItems $Item.SubItems(2).Text=$objItem.Caption+' ('+$objItem.Version+')' Next When looking at the code, i get error -2147023174 using GetObject and the message that a script error occurs: code: Script error: expected expression! $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem",,48) [ 11.

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Sealeopard, When using the code form the links, same happens Could it be some rights problem, e.g. could i use someting different from impersonate ? _________________________ Kind regards,

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	schulie, what is: $objCom.Name where it comes from? the error is related to the fact that the first line failes to get object. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Lonkero, $objCom.Name is the computername. It is enumerated by the script (see previous posts).. Les, The clients are all W2K Pro machines.. I'm using KiXtart 4.11 on the client.. [ 11. November 2002, 16:43: Message edited by: Schuliebug ] _________________________ Kind regards,

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Sorry for the waiting time: i've been a little sick last few days... sealeopard: I'm member of a domain global group W2PBeheer (dutch) which is member of the workstation's local administrators group. I'm even member of the domain global group Domain Admins, which is also member of the same workstation's local administrators group. I should have enough rights to collect WMI data from the workstation ... I could sent you an example, but even with the KixOMatic script it doesn't work (and according to the M$ site it should) (i 'borrowed' some code from KixOMatic.kix _________________________ Kind regards,

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Lonkero, Sealeopard, I tested the script towards a W2K server and it works against that well, so somehow i've got a security/rights problem regarding WMI. Maybe the fact that at the end of our handsoff W2K Pro installation, secedit is used to lock-down the workstation has something to do with it. I will test the code with a workstation not locked by secedit, and will post the results here _________________________ Kind regards,

Schuliebug Schuliebug Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-18 Posts: 379 Loc: Netherlands	Lonkero, I've tested it with machines on the same domain and those can be reached... Only machines in another domain i can't reach Should be possible with something like Wbemscripting.SWbemLocator (i'm sure the syntax is wrong, but i don't know what's causing the problem): code: $ObjWBemScripting=GetObject("Wbemscripting.SWbemLocator") ; line above returnes error<>0, object not available.. $ObjWBemLocator=$ObjWBemScripting.ConnectServer("$objCom.Name","root\cimv2","$sDomain\SchedAdmin","schedadmin") ; and so line above doesn't work.. $ObjWMIService=GetObject("winmgmts:\\"+$objCom.Name+"\root\cimv2") I'm also not sure if the last line is correct, because i _________________________ Kind regards,
