There's no "simple command" to do that. You can write a function, or take your choice of several that are available online in various code repositories. I use this:

function get-loggedonuser ($computername){

#mjolinor 3/17/10

$regexa = '.+Domain="(.+)",Name="(.+)"$'
$regexd = '.+LogonId="(\d+)"$'

$logontype = @{
"0"="Local System"
"2"="Interactive" #(Local logon)
"3"="Network" # (Remote logon)
"4"="Batch" # (Scheduled task)
"5"="Service" # (Service account logon)
"7"="Unlock" #(Screen saver)
"8"="NetworkCleartext" # (Cleartext network logon)
"9"="NewCredentials" #(RunAs using alternate credentials)
"10"="RemoteInteractive" #(RDP\TS\RemoteAssistance)
"11"="CachedInteractive" #(Local w\cached credentials)
}

$logon_sessions = @(gwmi win32_logonsession -ComputerName $computername)
$logon_users = @(gwmi win32_loggedonuser -ComputerName $computername)

$session_user = @{}

$logon_users |% {
$_.antecedent -match $regexa > $nul
$username = $matches[1] + "\" + $matches[2]
$_.dependent -match $regexd > $nul
$session = $matches[1]
$session_user[$session] += $username
}


$logon_sessions |%{
$starttime = [management.managementdatetimeconverter]::todatetime($_.starttime)

$loggedonuser = New-Object -TypeName psobject
$loggedonuser | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Session" -Value $_.logonid
$loggedonuser | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "User" -Value $session_user[$_.logonid]
$loggedonuser | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Type" -Value $logontype[$_.logontype.tostring()]
$loggedonuser | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Auth" -Value $_.authenticationpackage
$loggedonuser | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "StartTime" -Value $starttime

$loggedonuser
}

}
