I managed to get the list of users registered in the server using the following code

C#

ManagementObjectSearcher srch = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2","select * from win32_useraccount");
foreach(ManagementObject mObj in srch.Get())
{
    textBox1.Text += mObj["name"]+Environment.NewLine;
}

I need now to get the currently logged in users with their process id

You can achieve this in two different ways

C#

string userName = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;
or
userName =  Environment.UserName;
