Count the users

[Bite My Bubbles]

How could I count the users logged into my W2k server and display the result
on a web page?
Thanks

Logged in in what way? Terminal Services session? Active domain logins?
Logged in in a web app?

Logged into active domain..
What is the default meaning when someone says "logged into the server"?
Terminal Services? No, although a common practice, logging in thru terminal
services is still rare enough that one would rightfully expect that the term
would be used if Terminal Services were part of the scenario.
Web App? No, that would be called "logging into the website". Since we are
discussing web apps, and since web apps use a server that can be logged
into, it is acceptable to stumble but not fall on this one. But since the
term "Server" was used, trumped is any possiblity that we are talking
logging into a mere Web App, because along with the term "server" comes the
baggage of years traditional , historical meaning of the word server in the
context of "logging on."
Thus * logging into a domain "server" * is by far the most likely, and in
fact the most commonly used way to describe the act to which I refer. And,
as it turns out, * logging into a domain "server" * actually was what I was
referring to.
In the end, to refer to any other act as "logging into the server" , would
be malaproptic, synonistically depleted, and in a canonical way, stubbornly
asphorent.

Hey,

a) "Thus * logging into a domain "server" * is by far the most likely"
Well, for starters, you don't "login to a domain server" - you authenticate
against a Domain Controller, and you log into the Domain.

b) Web App? No, that would be called "logging into the website".
Well, not if you are using some kind of Windows Authentication - since
they'd be authenticated against the DC's SAM, and they'd be using up a
Client Access Licence. How is this different from authenticating from a
Windows shell?

c) "Terminal Services? No, although a common practice, logging in thru
terminal services is still rare enough that one would rightfully expect that
the term would be used if Terminal Services were part of the scenario."
Frankly, since when were you the judge of what is "common" and what isn't?

You weren't *clear* in your first post, and so someone asked you want you
wanted. You still haven't defined exactly what constitutes a "logon", and
what constitutes a "logoff" (for example, you still haven't told us whether
you have a domain, or not, and whether you want to see how many people are
connected to a server, or how many people are authenticated or what).
Suppose someone's connected through to Exchange 5.5 - how many "logons" does
that constitute?

Be precise in your requirements, and you're likely to get an answer that may
be useful. If you want to be a smart-arse, then you probably won't get any
help at all.

Cheers
Ken

Nice.
set cnt=-1 & for /f "skip=4" %j in ('net session') do (set /a cnt=cnt+1)
You could execute that and retreive the value of %cnt% to get the number of
/sessions/. As Ken said, there is no "logging in to a server" in the way
you mean. There is authentication by the server.
