Here is the question in better format.
1. I have a list of computer names in text file format.
2. I would like to resolve the current username to each computername in the textfile.
3. This is an additional question how can i incorporate the list in the program and make it editable by users in my vb form application?
4. Would it be possible to make querys to active directory to find computernames with 52MHMX-NC??? or -WNC??? and let the user select those active computers into the list in the program and save it?

Sincerely,
Chris

I know im asking many questions in one question but if i could figure this out it would be amazing. An if i could get examples of how to make all of this happen it would be even better.

I don't thinks you can do it without having a special service running of each of those computers. It would be unsafe to disclose the current user name. However, if you want the user logged in AD, please see:

I have found that you can retrieve the username through wmic as posted here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alejacma/archive/2008/03/04/how-to-get-the-logged-on-user-with-wmi-vbscript.aspx
However, I am an System Administrator and have Admin rights to all clients. I would like to create the program to not loop but execute with button click and then run the query against a list of computernames stored in the application. Then return the current users associated with the computers in the list.
