DOCUMENT:Q260324 06-AUG-2002 [winnt] TITLE :How to Obtain a List of Workstations and the Last Logged On User PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER:winnt:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbProgramming ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= This article describes how to produce a text file containing a sorted list of Windows NT domain member servers and workstations with the name of the user who last logged on. MORE INFORMATION ================ The method outlined in this article uses the Netdom.exe and Reg.exe tools from the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit. Make sure that these tools are installed and available through the computer's PATH variable. 1. Create a folder on the computer running Windows NT that has read/write permissions assigned to the user account you are using to log on. 2. Create the Lastuser.bat and Lastusr2.bat files listed in the "Batch Files" section of this article. Create these files in the folder you created in step 1. 3. Run the Lastuser.bat file at a command prompt. The command has the following syntax: lastuser 4. Examine the contents of the Output.txt file. Batch Files ----------- NOTE: You must replace the five references to in the following two batch files with a true tab character. The easiest way to accomplish this is to edit the files with Edit.com and select where you need to insert the tab character. Press CTRL+P, and then press TAB. This action should insert an ASCII character. If you do not correct these lines before you run the files, the batch jobs do not work. The Lastuser.bat File --------------------- @echo off cls if "%1"=="" goto nodomain set dom=%1 if exist ms.txt del ms.txt if exist output.txt del output.txt if exist out2.txt del out2.txt if exist temp.txt del temp.txt echo. echo Generating Server List of Member Servers and Workstations echo. echo Please Wait... netdom /d:%1 /noverbose member > MS.TXT echo. echo Generating List of Member Servers and Workstations - Done echo. echo List Generated. Checking Last Logged On User. for /f %%a in (ms.txt) do call lastusr2.bat %%a sort /+3 out2.txt del output.txt echo Computer NameLast Logged On User >> output.txt echo ----------------------------------------- >> output.txt type out2.txt >> output.txt if exist ms.txt del ms.txt if exist out2.txt del out2.txt if exist temp.txt del temp.txt echo. echo List is Complete. Results are in Output.txt. goto end :nodomain echo Specify the target domain on the command line echo EXAMPLE: lastuser MyDomainName echo. :end The Lastusr2.bat File --------------------- NOTE: The two lines in this file that begin with "reg query" are wrapped for readability. If you do not correct these lines before you run the file, the batch job does not work. REM %1 = computer name set usr=Machine Offline REM Next line wrapped for readability: it should all be on one line. reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon \DefaultDomainName" %1 | find /I "defaultdomainname" > temp.txt REM End of single line. for /f "tokens=3 delims=" %%a in (temp.txt) do set usr=%%a REM Next line wrapped for readability: it should all be on one line. reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon \DefaultUserName" %1 | find /I "defaultusername" > temp.txt REM End of single line. for /f "tokens=3 delims=" %%a in (temp.txt) do set usr=%usr%\%%a echo %1 %usr% >>output.txt Additional query words: ====================================================================== Keywords : kbProgramming Technology : kbWinNTsearch kbWinNTWsearch kbWinNTW400 kbWinNTW400search kbWinNT400search kbWinNTSsearch kbWinNTS400search kbWinNTS400 Version : winnt:4.0 Issue type : kbinfo ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
