netwkstauserenum (netapi32)
.
C# Signature:
[DllImport("netapi32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError=true)]
static extern int NetWkstaUserEnum(
string servername,
int level,
out IntPtr bufptr,
int prefmaxlen,
out int entriesread,
out int totalentries,
ref int resume_handle);
Shared Function NetWkstaUserEnum(ByVal servername As String, ByVal level As Integer, <System.Runtime.InteropServices.Out()> ByRef bufptr As IntPtr, ByVal prefmaxlen As Integer, <System.Runtime.InteropServices.Out()> ByRef entriesread As Integer, <System.Runtime.InteropServices.Out()> ByRef totalentries As Integer, ByRef resume_handle As Integer) As Integer
End Function
User-Defined Types:
See sample code for types and constants.
Alternative Managed API:
WMI can do this sort of thing (the System.Management namespace in .Net 2.0)
Notes:
If you want to find the user logged in to the workstation, consider instead a WMI query ("select UserName from Win32_ComputerSystem"), which has certain advantages (runs faster, less ambigious results, doesn't require Interop if using .Net 2.0 System.Management namespace, etc.)
Tips & Tricks:
Please add some!
* On Windows 8+ when users log in with a MicrosoftAccount the username is returned like "MicrosoftAccount\user.email@thedomain.com" rather than the ID. This means for example that it won't match their directory name in C:\Users.

The NetWkstaUserEnum function lists information about all users currently logged on to the workstation. This list includes interactive, service and batch logons.

ByVal is a VB keyword that specifies a variable to be passed as a parameter BY VALUE. In other words, if the function or sub changes the value of the internal variable, it does not change the value of the external variable that was passed to it.

ByRef is a VB keyword that specifies a variable to be passed as a parameter BY REFERENCE. In other words, the pointer to the variable is passed and any change to its value made within the function or sub will change its value outside the function/sub.

An IntPtr is a pointer to a memory location (unmanaged) that adapts to the platform it is running on (64-bit, etc.) UNLIKE a standard int/Integer. You should always use this type for unmanaged calls that require it, even though an int will appear to work on your development machine.
