PsLoggedon.exe \\computer-name

To make it a bit more sophisticated on easier to use you can create a simple batch script which will prompt for computer (or user) name.

  • Create LoggedOn.bat and place in the same directory as PsLoggedon.exe
  • Place following code in LoggedOn.bat
    echo off
    SET /P PC=Please Enter Computer Name
    PsLoggedon.exe \\%PC%
    pause
  • Now when you run LoggedOn.bat, it will prompt for a Computer Name and return the result.
