Please add a column to show the currently logged in user for a computer without the need to run the CTRL-G command. This would be useful in the dynamic search folder and the static list. We have many occasions when the user ask for support and they have trouble finding the machine name or ip to give us so that we can connect. It would be much easier just to look at the list or find them by user name.

What do I need to enable on my remote servers that I am not in the same network that would give me this information if I had an admin login to this server for?

There is nothing much could be done in this case. In order to show logged on users list the VNC Manager has to establish connection to a remote computer's registry. There are two ways to do it:
1) Native Win32 API
2) Use WMI  StdRegProv provider

In case of 1) Win32 API doesn't allow to connect with different logon credentials, so in most cases you would get Access Denied error.
In case of 2) StdRegProv doesn't provide enough features to read necessary information from the registry. So it cannot be used.

But the good news is that Show Logged On Users dialog allows to establish connection using different logon credentials. It works similar to Run As command, so it’s not 100% good solution but at least it’s better than nothing.
