Users in my company frequently leave Windows NT Server 4.0 servers unattended with open logon sessions. How can I identify which users are interactively logged on to those servers?
You can use several methods to identify logged-on users:
Run progman.exe—The name of the user who's currently logged on will appear in the program's title bar.
Run the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit whoami.exe utility from the command line.
Open a command prompt window and type
setto display the user environment variables. The current user's logon name will appear in the USERNAME= line.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del—The user's logon information will appear in the Windows NT Security dialog box.
Run winmsd.exe—The name of the user who's currently logged on will appear on the Network tab.
