WMI Query to find logged on Users
I have been playing around with various WMI scripts(.vbs) that query machines on the network to get a list of currently logged on users. I have had a desent amount of success with this. However the scripts seem to have better luck with workstations(operating systems LIKE XP, Vista, and Windows 7) and not so much luck with server operating systems(specifically Windows Server 2003 sp 2). Attached is a code sample of one of the scripts I have been testing. Notice it returns the username property of objComputer. Seems that the username property returned by server operating systems is null. I do have proper priviledges to connect to these servers so permissions should not be an issue per say. I also logged on to the servers to see if the event logs offered any direction on a fix for this but there was nothing that really stood out. Any suggestions as to what the issue could be, or suggestions to tweak the script to make it work with server operating systems would be greatly appreciated.
