WTSQuerySessionInformation returning empty strings
- by Benj
I've written a program which should query the Terminal Services API and print out some state information about the sessions running on a terminal services box. I'm using the WTSQuerySessionInformation function to do this and it's returning some data but most of the data seems to be missing... Does anyone know why?
Here's my program:
void WTSGetString( HANDLE serverHandle, DWORD sessionid, WTS_INFO_CLASS command, wchar_t* commandStr)
{
DWORD bytesReturned = 0;
LPTSTR pData = NULL;
if (WTSQuerySessionInformation(serverHandle, sessionid, command, &pData, &bytesReturned))
{
wprintf(L"\tWTSQuerySessionInformationW - session %d - %s returned \"%s\"\n", sessionid, commandStr, pData);
}
else
{
wprintf(L"\tWTSQuerySessionInformationW - session %d - %s failed - error=%d - ", sessionid, commandStr, GetLastError());
printLastError(NULL, GetLastError());
}
WTSFreeMemory(pData);
}
void ExtractFromWTS( HANDLE serverHandle, DWORD sessionid )
{
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSInitialProgram, L"WTSInitialProgram");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSApplicationName, L"WTSApplicationName");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSWorkingDirectory, L"WTSWorkingDirectory");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSOEMId, L"WTSOEMId");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSSessionId, L"WTSSessionId");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSUserName, L"WTSUserName");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSWinStationName, L"WTSWinStationName");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSDomainName, L"WTSDomainName");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSConnectState, L"WTSConnectState");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSClientBuildNumber, L"WTSClientBuildNumber");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSClientName, L"WTSClientName");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSClientDirectory, L"WTSClientDirectory");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSClientProductId, L"WTSClientProductId");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSClientHardwareId, L"WTSClientHardwareId");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSClientAddress, L"WTSClientAddress");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSClientDisplay, L"WTSClientDisplay");
WTSGetString(serverHandle, sessionid, WTSClientProtocolType, L"WTSClientProtocolType");
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
PWTS_SESSION_INFOW ppSessionInfo = 0;
DWORD pCount;
if(!WTSEnumerateSessions(WTS_CURRENT_SERVER_HANDLE, 0, 1, &ppSessionInfo, &pCount))
{
printLastError(L"WTSEnumerateSessions", GetLastError());
return 1;
}
wprintf(L"%d WTS sessions found on host\n", pCount);
for (unsigned int i=0; i<pCount; i++)
{
wprintf(L"> session=%d, stationName = %s\n", ppSessionInfo[i].SessionId, ppSessionInfo[i].pWinStationName);
ExtractFromWTS(WTS_CURRENT_SERVER_HANDLE, ppSessionInfo[i].SessionId);
LPWSTR sessionstr = new wchar_t[200];
wsprintf(sessionstr, L"%d", ppSessionInfo[i].SessionId);
}
return 0;
}
And here's the output:

As you can see, some of the data looks valid, but not all....
