I tried this command wmic.exe /node:IP-or-HostName ComputerSystem Get UserName but I get access denied as i don't have password to the remote machine.I can only ping the ipaddress and I have its name xxx.yyy.com Is it possible to get username or any more details about remote machine without having a login access to it.

You can get the name of a user that is currently logged into a PC in your network with PowerShell (ExecutionPolicy needs to be set to RemoteSigned on the target PC)
get-wmiobject -class win32_computersystem <IP> | format-list UserName, Name
But it looks like you want to do that with a web server. If the Admin of that server did his job well, you will not be able to find out which account is currently logged into it.

absolutely not, and if you could that would be a serious security hole, which I would expect them to patch immediately. you can probably find other mechanisms (sniff some of their network traffic, etc), but not from WMI. – Frank Thomas – 2014-04-02T14:29:43.827
