How to identify the user by using Workstation name or IP address ?

Hi People,

What is the best way to identify the remote user of a laptop or desktop given only the IP address or the Workstation name ?

I've tried QWINSTA /SERVER:(IP or WORKSTATIONname) but it is not working with access denied error ? but it works for Windows Server.

Any help please ?

What account are you running with, and are you scanning Windows 7 computers? Are the computers remote (i.e. connected via VPN?)

I'm trying to determine if the Windows firewall is on for these systems via GPO when they are not "domain connected"
