A customer had the problem that sometimes, after an automatic restart (on idle) of the DNS Client Service, Windows won’t register its name in DNS anymore. A manual register with
C:\> ipconfig /registerdns
was necessary each time.

if you want to list all Users which are currently logged on to the box use the query command.

c:\> query process
USERNAME SESSIONNAME ID PID IMAGE
>user1 rdp-tcp#0 2 6076 taskhost.exe
>user1 rdp-tcp#0 2 6592 rdpclip.exe
>user1 rdp-tcp#0 2 4840 dwm.exe
