The PsLoggedOn utility will give me what I need once I set it up in a batch file. I really appreciate you each taking the time to lend me a hand here.

I assume you have only one subnet. Find every system that responds by doing a ping. I would do a “ping 192.168.1.255 >active_ip.txt which will give you a good list of all of the devices on the network. Then the nbtstat command can tell you who they are.

It will give you the usernames and the last time they logged in.

Hope this helps.

The user name will often show up in the list.

I don’t think it will show if the users are not authenticated to the server or don’t have resources in use on the server. Are they authenticating locally on the workstation and not the domain?

It doesn’t show every machine, but it does show the most important ones. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
