WHAT does the program do?

The program will find Windows machines that are switched on with no-one logged into them.



WHY?

As an ICT tech I have needed on occasion to test some setting, or piece of software, or do some investigative work.  Finding PC's to do this on without disturbing users has, in the past, been quite a challenge.  Or at least involved walking!  But now I can find test PC's from the comfort of my own chair.

Bear in mind that the data it collects is just a sort of progressive snapsnot of the machines you ask it to scan, which will become stale over time. So if you leave it too long between scanning and remoting into a machine, someone might have logged on in the mean time.



HOW does it work?

It works through the list of PC's thus :
1) Ping the PC to see if it on.
2) Use a remote WMI call to check the running processes for Explorer.exe.
3) If Explorer.exe is running then someone is logged into that PC.
4) Otherwise, it's either not a Windows machine or no-one is logged into it.
5) Check to see if Winlogon.exe is running, if not, then it's not a windows machine.
6) Put it in the appropriate collumn.



Any use to you?

If you do find it useful I'd love to know about it.  Or if you can think of ways to improve it, of which I'm sure there are many, please do email me.



Thanks!

Thanks very much for taking the time to check this out, I hope you find it useful.
