Get user login or computer name from ip address

Greetings glennonr,

Go to start>RN>CMD

Type this :

Ping -a IP ADD

Good Luck!

Naser

If you're not the administrator.. the answer is NO

if you are, and can login to the server, you can view the Security info on Events viewer

Naser,

That got me their Conmputer Name. Any way to get their login id now?

nbtstat -A IP_address -n

A specific computer may have multiple user name. For security reason, the computer will reveal such information. In the past, unix server had a "finger" service that was listing available accounts.  Now any secured host will hide this information from network and local user.

Best bet to locate computer name is as suggested with nbtstat. If you want to be more specific, use:
nbtstat  -A  123.123.123.123  |find "20"

Then to locate the logged on user, a free little command line utility called PSLoggedOn works well:

Rob,

I was about to post the link for the PsLoggedOn tool, but the problem that the link is not exist any more, do you know where i can find it?

I checked the health of the link through Archive.org, and the answer was it's not exist anymore, check this:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.sysinternals.com

Naser, do you mean the link above doesn't work for you?
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsLoggedOn.html
Just tried it from here and description page is fine, and the link to the utility at the bottom of the page downloaded in seconds.

Yes Rob, It doesn't :(

Very odd Naser, works great from here. Just uploaded to:
 http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/malagash/Downloads/Net/PSLoggedOn.zip
should you or someone else need until site is available.
--Rob

Simple, go to this link, download the program, install it, put in the IP or IP range, it tells you the machine name, whats users it has, etc, even the OS and service pack :)

 Dear,

  As you are not admin you can easily use a tool called "Angry IP Scanner"

from : http://www.angryziber.com/ipscan/

 and get job done.

There are a lot of little utilities out there that will scan the network and tell you IP, MAC and NetBIOS ComputerName, but I don't believe Angry IP Scanner or most others will tell you who is logged on to the remote computer. PSLoggedOn will.

glennonr, did any of the commands or utilities suggested help you to locate the computer name and logon ID?

I am not the admin of the network and lanspy works wonders
I plug in the IP addy of the machine
and i get the:

machine name
Operating system
service pack version
RTT
TTL value
DNS name
netbios name
user
MAC address
platform and version
Roles on the network/domain
what domain its logged into
disk drives
tranports
users that can or have logged in
global groups / local groups
policies
sessions open
shares
open files
processes running
TCP ports
and UDP ports
this not including all the other small things i dont think need to be listed

Sorry about the delay in getting back. Had some tiem off and have been swamped at work.

PSLoggedOn worked great! Points to RobWill.
