Error Opening HKEY_USERS for [COMPUTER NAME] PsLoggedon

We have a LAN that in which there is a Windows Server 2003R2 with some clients. We have not set up an Active Directory Server so they are in a Workgroup. Is that possible to find the username of the logged on user on the client computers which are connected to the network, using just the IP addresses of the connected machines? (except administrator)

Also, is it possible to get a list of all the local user accounts on a Workgroup machine, with just the machine IP?

Based on my understanding of your question...

No. In order to get the information you want [remotely], you'd need to provide credentials to connect to the machine in the first place. Since they're not domain joined, and you don't know the local administrator credentials (I think... do you?), you won't be able to use any tools to connect and see who's logged in locally. This also applies to your question about local users. To do it remotely, you require credentials to connect to the machine before you can even query that information.

If you did know the local credentials, you could use any number of tools, and/or the links MichelZ provided to connect to the machine and query it to find the the logged on users and/or the list of local accounts.
