    Here's some C# that lists the interactive sessions - you should be able to extract the right queries from this...

    ManagementObjectSearcher logonsessionsearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogonSession Where LogonType = 2 OR LogonType = 10");
    foreach (ManagementObject logonsession in logonsessionsearcher.Get())
    {
    Console.WriteLine("LogonId: {0}", logonsession["LogonId"].ToString());
    Console.WriteLine("LogonType: {0}", logonsession["LogonType"].ToString());

    ManagementObjectSearcher associationsearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("Associators of {Win32\_LogonSession.LogonId=" + logonsession\["LogonId"\].ToString() + "} Where AssocClass=Win32\_LoggedOnUser Role=Dependent");
    foreach (ManagementObject association in associationsearcher.Get())
    {
        Console.WriteLine("   Name: {0}", association\["Name"\].ToString());
        Console.WriteLine("   Domain: {0}", association\["Domain"\].ToString());
    }
    Console.WriteLine("");
    

    }

    Thx Mark I will see how I can do this in C++. I guess we cant use this "Associators of {Win32_LogonSession.LogonId=" etc. in C++ so I need to check out the way how i can accomplish it in C++... I am not getting that though and tried multiple queries/combinations in C++ already... will check.. :( :confused: I am :~ though. Regards, Supriya Tonape.

      How do you do WMI queries in C++? I've always used .NET like shown which is the same in C++ or C#. The query should be the same in native C++ I would think...

      Associators of {Win32_LogonSession.LogonId=50493851} Where AssocClass=Win32_LoggedOnUser Role=Dependent

      where 50493851 is the logon session ID (insert an actual ID) Mark

        I just looked at this link Example: Getting WMI Data from the Local Computer[^] and it looks like query text just like I used. The "while (pEnumerator)" loop is the same as my foreach loop. Where's the problem? Mark

          Yes I am using the same for looping. But I am not getting 'Name'field when I query diretly to 'Win32_LogonSession'class. There is some other way for it.. I am new to WMI stuff.. thru Win32_LoggedOnUser i shud get it but I am exploring it...I will try the query you had given me above.. Regards, Supriya Tonape

            Nope that query is not working. I am getting 'Win32_LogonSession.LogonId' after executing query : "SELECT * FROM Win32_LogonSession WHERE LogonType = 2 OR LogonType = 10" what are next steps ? (in C++) Regards, Supriya Tonape

              I thought you were already able to get the LogonId and you needed to get the name? To get the user name from the Win32_LoggedOnUser class, you need to do the second query I showed you using the LogonId from the query you've already done.

                    It returns S_FALSE at line "HRESULT hr1 = pEnumerator1->Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1, &pclsObj1, &uReturn1);" which is in last.

                        I had already tried that! It's not working as 'hr1' is getting as S_FALSE error and so 'vtProp1' is NULL for the time being... HRESULT hr1 = pEnumerator1->Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1, &pclsObj1, &uReturn1); VARIANT vtProp1; hr1 = pclsObj1->Get(_bstr_t(L"Name"), 0, &vtProp1, 0, 0); :confused: Regards, Supriya Tonape

                          hmm I tested it and it worked for me... Here's my test code - I took your code and added stuff to the top (copied right from that MSDN sample code) for me to build it...

                          int GetRemoteLoggedOnUsers()
                          {
                          HRESULT hres = WBEM_S_NO_ERROR;

                            hmm I tested it and it worked for me... Here's my test code - I took your code and added stuff to the top (copied right from that MSDN sample code) for me to build it...

                            int GetRemoteLoggedOnUsers()
                            {
                            HRESULT hres = WBEM_S_NO_ERROR;

                            //hres =  CoInitializeSecurity(
                            //    NULL, 
                            //    -1,                          // COM authentication
                            //    NULL,                        // Authentication services
                            //    NULL,                        // Reserved
                            //    RPC\_C\_AUTHN\_LEVEL\_DEFAULT,   // Default authentication 
                            //    RPC\_C\_IMP\_LEVEL\_IMPERSONATE, // Default Impersonation  
                            //    NULL,                        // Authentication info
                            //    EOAC\_NONE,                   // Additional capabilities 
                            //    NULL                         // Reserved
                            //    );

                                  Also, if you remove the "WHERE LogonType = 2 OR LogonType = 10" from the outer query, you can see all logon sessions, not just the interactive ones. :) Mark

                                        Also in this code though I have kept 'logontype' as 2 and 10 to get only active user names, but it;s returning me all users those are Disc earlier...
