Hi,

Please to know the status of System/PC if it is locked. I am looking for a command which can say the status of the system if it is locked. to lock the system in Windows we have command like "rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation" in similar way do we have any command in Windows to find the status if its locked/unlock.

I am looking for a command which can give information if the system is locked. Here locked means the user has logged into the PC and after some time locked (Window key+L) or automatic lock after some time when PC is ideal.

In other words you are trying to figure this out remotely via a command line?
