Q.
Using Visual Basic 6, I need to be able to take an IP address of a PC and get the name of the user logged onto that PC. Unfortunately I do not know where to start as I am new to the NDK. Can anybody help/point me in the right direction please?
A.
A quick way to do this would be to use the NWDirQ control from the Novell ActiveX components (http://developer.novell.com/ndk/ocx.htm), and compare the result values of "Network Address" attribute with the target address. A more elaborate solution would involve using the low level VBLIB calls and create a search filter on "Network Address" (http://developer.novell.com/ndk/doc/ndslib/nds__enu/data/hddp9m9i.html#h67xly9k).
