Windows – How to know if someone is already connected to a shared machine with Remote Desktop Connection

remote desktopwindows xp

At work we use sometimes a shared computer (Windows XP). Normally we access the software through Remote Desktop. The problem is that there is no way to tell if someone is already connected, if not running for office and asking everyone.
Is there a way to know if someone is already connected with Remote Desktop, and what his user name without interrupting its connection?

qwinsta is your friend.

Open a command-line. Type qwinsta /server:machine-name.

It will tell who's logged to the machine. It'll tell you if it's local (console) or remotely (rdp-tcp#xxx).
