Check Logged In User

Is there a way to check logged in user name after connecting to a remote
windows xp machine through telnet?

Thanks!

If the Windows Resource Kit Pro is installed, "whoami" works.

Otherwise, "net name" at the command prompt yields the workstation
name and the current user. I believe the telnet service runs under the
SYSTEM account but the user will depend on the ENVIRON parameters of
the telnet service.

Telnet is NOT recommended. It is insecure. Use an SSH server instead
and a VPN tunnel.

Yes I am already using VPN. What about using "tasklist /v" command. It shows
you the users and running processes.

Thanks!

That seems reasonable. The tasklist.exe shows in the list and it
appears to be assigned to the currently logged in user. Have fun.
