Environment is in domain, server is Windows Server 2003, workstations have Vista and XP installed.
I need the way to check remotely who is currently logged on workstation, preferably from some simple command line and without sysinternals or third party programs.
Thanks

This was the original source but that is now 404 :
They suggested using the (Windows Management Interface Command) WMIC which available on windows :
Will return the username currently logged into xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, or
will return the username currently logged into "workstation_name"
UPDATE: This should working on Windows 10 too - if you are an admin on the remote machine.
