WMI Client Machine Name Query

[Weltchy]

Got a quick question for anyone with knowedge of WMI with the .net framework.

How can you query a server running on terminal services to get the client machine names for a current logged in user. I can retrieve a list of users using SELECT * FROM Win32_ServerSessions, but the computer name just returns a default ip address.

The information I want is definately available, as if you view the Users tab for the Task Manager, the client name is definately there!!!!

Any ideas? fairly urgent this!!!!

No knowledge of what you're talking about specifically, but if you've got the IP address, why not do a DNS lookup?

You running on a win2k server?? I know they had probs with client names under wmi

Got it sorted. Using W2k3, with WTS. The IP Address is not good enough, I needed the actual Machine Name of the client who had connected to the server!!

The solution, in a nutshell goes, PInvoke to the WTSAPI.dll and call WTSEnumerateSessions and WTSQuerySessionInformation to get the information I needed!
