BUG: The WTSQuerySessionInformation() Function Returns Invalid Client Address (238143)

RESOLUTION

As a workaround on TS4, you can first use the WTSQuerySessionInformation function with the WTSClientName filtering flag to get the client name. The client name is either a dotted IP address or a name string. If the client name is a name string, use the gethostbyname function to resolve the name to an IP address.

The following code fragment illustrates how to use the gethostbyname function to resolve a client name string to its IP address:

   ...
   ...
   ...
   lphp = gethostbyname(szClientName);

   if (lphp == NULL)
   {
      printf("gethostbyname failed: %d", WSAGetLastError());
      return -1;
   }

   inAddr.s_addr = ((struct in_addr far *)(lphp->h_addr))->s_addr;
   printf("Client address: %s\n", inet_ntoa(inAddr));
   ...
   ...
   ...
