ExpressoDan Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I work for a company that utilizes pc's in a remote location to perform a specific task. There are about 15 machines that are used by many people. Currently only one person can log on to a machine at a given time. Hence the problem, if a machine is being used, a person has to try another (of the 15) until they find one that's not being used. I would like to create (or find) some sort of tool that would allow users to view what machines are being used before they try to connect... Any ideas? Can it be done similarly to the snap in on a server where you can see the current terminal sessions?Thanks,Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkanski Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Assuming windows XP (maybe 2000)You could write a script to execute the tasklist command on all the remote machines and parse the info for a username of the group. If a username is returned, it tries the next machine, if not it returns the machine as free.tasklist /S system_to_snoop /V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
