I need to retrieve the client logon username from a Terminal Services session. What approach is needed? WTSAPI32 has not implemented virtual channel client information query, file access.

EXPERT RESPONSE

Logon usernames show up in Terminal Server Manager for each session. You can also retrieve this information programmatically with the QUERY SESSION command-line utility. This command will return the session ID, username, state, type, and device.
