You could get only the people who have logged into a particular machine / server etc.. Application maintain their own data about who has logged in? Are you refering to a machine or an application?

Are you using the ASP.Net Membership API?

Try this:
C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace EnumerateRDUsers
{
  class Program
  {
    [DllImport("wtsapi32.dll")]
    static extern IntPtr WTSOpenServer([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] String pServerName);

    [DllImport("wtsapi32.dll")]
    static extern void WTSCloseServer(IntPtr hServer);

    [DllImport("wtsapi32.dll")]
    static extern Int32 WTSEnumerateSessions(
        IntPtr hServer,
