WMI: Vbscript to enumerate who is connected to a domain controller

dirk adamsky — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:39:44 +0000

Ok let’s do another script.
The script shows you who is connected to a domain controller.
This is accomplished through the WMI class “Win32_ServerSession”.
Enumerated are: prew2k username, hostname, workstation os and the time connected.
The script needs to be run as admin because of the wmi connection to the server.

Follow the next steps to run the script (admin rights needed):

copy and paste the script in your favorite text editor
change the value of strServer to the name of your domain controller (example: strServer = “srv001″)
save the script (for example c:tempconnected.vbs)
open a command prompt
go to “c:temp”
give “cscript connected.vbs” (without quotes) and enter

The script:

' Name : connected.vbs
' Description : script to enumerate who is connected to a domain controller
' Author : dirk adamsky - deludi bv
' Version : 1.00
' Date : 22-04-2010
' Level: intermediate

strServer = "domaincontroller"
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts://" & strServer & "/rootcimv2")
Set objInstances = objWMI.InstancesOf("Win32_ServerSession",48)

For Each objInstance in objInstances
    With objInstance
        WScript.Echo .UserName & " ; " & .ComputerName & " ; " & .ClientType &_
		.Name & " ; " & Round(.ActiveTime/60,0) & " minutes connected"
    End With
Next

Set objInstances = Nothing
Set objWMI = Nothing

Happy scripting.
