Find connected clients to a shared resource from server.

I want to find out the connected clients to a shared resource (printer) on my server. The program will run on the server and will form a list of all the connected clients to the shared resource (or the local machine).

Is there any way that I can do it using WMI or otherwise in C# or c++?

Here is the code in c++ that I tried. The API succeeds but does not return the printer connections.

DWORD res, i, er = 0, tr = 0, resume = 0;
LPCONNECTION_INFO_1 p,b;
LPTSTR lpszServer = NULL, lpszShare = NULL;
    
	 res=NetConnectionEnum(/*lpszServer*/NULL, L"MySharedPrinter", 1, (LPBYTE *) &p, MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH, (LPDWORD)&er, (LPDWORD)&tr,/* &resume*/NULL);
	  if(res == 0)
	  {
		  if(er>0)
		  {
			MessageBox(0,L"Got connections",0,0);
		  }
		  else
		  {
			  MessageBox(0,L"No connections",0,0);
		  }
	  }
