This has been a long time frustration of mine with Windows networks.

I have yet to find a way to tell which workstation a user is currently
logged into.
Has anyone out there solved this or found something I've just overlooked for
so long?

Perhaps a very handy script?

Hi,

Although not always 100% reliable, I tend to remotely ask the PDCe (or other
major file server where everyone could be connected) for a session list and
find from there:

PSEXEC \\<server> NET SESSION | FIND "<part of username>"
(or RCMD, a longtime favourite of mine)

eg.

PSEXEC \\server5 NET SESSION | FIND "AC"

might return:

\\PC101 BACKUP Windows 2002 Serv 3 00:00:00
\\PC203 BACKMAN Windows 2002 Serv 0 00:04:00
\\PC222 RACKmon Windows 2000 Serv 3 00:00:00

Alternatively, the other SysInternals' product PSLOGGEDON can enumerate all
sessions on all machines, but it's probably slower than the above VBScript
from JHP (which I'm saving for a day I need it).

Dave
