hi everyone,

is there a way (script or rk tool) to find out what machine a user is
logged on too in the domain?

I have user domain\user and I want to find out the name of the machine
that user is logged on.

?

thanks

From a DC -

net session

(in a command prompt)

or look at computer management | system tools | shared folders | sessions.

You could use psloggedon.exe (www.sysinternals.exe) to
interrogate each machine in your network until you find
your user.

An easier way is to insert this line of code into your logon
script so that you can examine the logon log file:
echo %date% %time% %UserName% %ComputerName%
\\YourServer\SomeShare\logon.log

This works well up to about 20 users. Above this number
you're likely to get sharing violations.

I have an example VBScript logon script that does something similar:

To avoid sharing violations, it makes 3 attempts to append to the file with
a slight pause between each attempt. For analysis I copy the log file and
read into a spreadsheet program.
