    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
    //    );
    
    //                  
    //if (FAILED(hres))
    //{
    //    cout << "Failed to initialize security. Error code = 0x" 
    //        << hex << hres << endl;
    //    CoUninitialize();
    //    return 1;                    // Program has failed.
    //}
    
    // Step 3: ---------------------------------------------------
    // Obtain the initial locator to WMI -------------------------
    
    IWbemLocator \*pLoc = NULL;
    
    hres = CoCreateInstance(
        CLSID\_WbemLocator,             
        0, 
        CLSCTX\_INPROC\_SERVER, 
        IID\_IWbemLocator, (LPVOID \*) &pLoc);
    
    if (FAILED(hres))
    {
        cout << "Failed to create IWbemLocator object."
            << " Err code = 0x"
            << hex << hres << endl;
        CoUninitialize();
        return 1;                 // Program has failed.
    }
    
    // Step 4: -----------------------------------------------------
    // Connect to WMI through the IWbemLocator::ConnectServer method
    
    IWbemServices \*pSvc = NULL;
    
    // Connect to the root\\cimv2 namespace with
    // the current user and obtain pointer pSvc
    // to make IWbemServices calls.
    hres = pLoc->ConnectServer(
         \_bstr\_t(L"ROOT\\\\CIMV2"), // Object path of WMI namespace
         NULL,                    // User name. NULL = current user
         NULL,                    // User password. NULL = current
         0,                       // Locale. NULL indicates current
         NULL,                    // Security flags.
         0,                       // Authority (e.g. Kerberos)
         0,                       // Context object 
         &pSvc

          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...

                      Hi Mark, I just realized that 2nd query which forms like "Associators of {Win32_LogonSession.LogonId=1121214} Where AssocClass=Win32_LoggedOnUser Role=Dependent" works for local machine but when I try to execute it on remote machine after above query executes, at next line it fails... Query execution passes but enumeration fails.. at below line, HRESULT hr1 = pEnumerator1->Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1, &pclsObj1, &uReturn1); I have been trying different things to check out but no luck, any idea why it cud be happening or is there any change in query while running on remote machine ? Regards, Supriya Tonape

                        Hi All, For some reason, when I add the following lines, to get the StartTime property value, the get function fails. Any ideas?

                        VARIANT vtProp2;
                        HRESULT hr2 = pclsObj1->Get(L"StartTime", 0, &vtProp2, 0, 0);
                        if(hr1 == S_OK)
                        {
                        SYSTEMTIME t;
                        int res = VariantTimeToSystemTime(vtProp2.dblVal, &t);
                        }
