Scan Profile - Get Current User only

Avatar
Steven Morris

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to make a scan profile that only checks the currently logged on user. The Computer Info profile returns this but just trying to isolate it to make the scan much quicker. I think this can be done via WMI but never really had much luck with this.

The reason I am trying to do this is to help identify machines that have no one logged on or are (locked) so we can apply updates. Some users are bad for shutting down or never logging off.

thanks

    I don't think scan profile is what you want, but I may be wrong. This is how you could do the same thing with a dynamic collection.

    Filter group: Any

    Computer | Current User | Equals |

    Computer | Current User | Contains | (locked)

    @Patrick - thanks for your response. Although you are correct and I have used that filter before, this is not the purpose. I am trying to get a proper 'real time' view of who is idle at their machine. The automatic scans can be an hour or more out of date. In an hour someone could have gone for lunch and come back so the information is wrong.

    thanks

    According to this thread, what you want is Scan Profile > Computer Info
