You walk up to an nt4 workstation computer, how can you tell who's logged in to it?

If vb scripting is enabled you can put the following code into a file called getuser.vbs and place it somewhere where its easily accessible on a shared drive. Execute the file and it should return the Doman name, user name and workstation name.

Set W = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Dim S
Stop
S = "Domain:" + vbTab
S = S + W.UserDomain
S = S + vbCr + "Computer:"
S = S + vbTab + W.ComputerName
S = S + vbCr + "UserName:"
S = S + vbTab + W.UserName
WScript.Echo S

There is a command line tool in the resource kit called whoami.exe which will tell you who is logged on. Theres also a tool you can download called netusers.exe which can also tell you this from a remote PC.
