Hi Thomas Does that mean I have to setup a program on every machince for it to work?
I was hoping to just get the user name, I can ping the machine to see if it is switched on, but just need to know if a user is still logged on or not Thanks Steve _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Hruska Sent: 01 June 2007 18:07 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [delphi-en] Get User Login Name from another computer Steve Riley wrote: > Hi All > > I need to find out who is logged onto another machine on my network > > i know that GetUserName collects the information about the current user on > my machine > but how can i find out about a different machine from my own machine, > > any code would be great > Thanks in advance > > Steve Steve, GetUserName() is really only useful for the currently logged in user. At any given time in Windows NT, multiple users are logged in: NETWORK, SYSTEM, and maybe a few actual people. The only way I see an application working as expected would be to write a program that uses sockets to send the value of GetUserName() to a specific machine on the network from logged in user accounts. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* VerifyMyPC 2.5 Change tracking and management tool.
