Sorry if this is the wrong forum. New to it.

Is there a vbs or whs script that one can run from your admin workstation or
DC that will tell you what system(s) a user is logged onto? all server
2003/XP forest, AD, DNS, muliti-subnet IP address WAN.
 
PsloggedOn is a tool that may be able to do what you want and is free to
try. I believe the W2003 SP1 tool called limitlogon can also do such though
there is both a server and client component that needs to be installed in
domain computers but that can easily be done via Group Policy Software
Installation since the installs are .msi files. The links below explain
more. --- Steve

Steve,

I'm not sure you're interpreting Eric's question correctly.

I think he's asking that if he provides a user name as input, then the
tool/script should provide the computer at which that user is logged on
as the output.

The PSLogedOn tool accepts the computer name as the input and provides
user name as output, which is just the opposite.

Eric, can you confirm?

Thank you,
Brad

Hi Brad.

I have not used it lately but according the SysInternals you can search for
user? Limitlogon will also show where the user is logged on if it is
implemented by going to the user account in ADUC and looking at the
limitlogon info for that user. --- Steve

If you specify a user name instead of a computer, PsLoggedOn searches the
computers in the network neighborhood and tells you if the user is currently
logged on. Full source code is included.

Steve,

Indeed... you are correct. It will take either input and provide the
appropriate output.

Cool utility...

Sounds good. It uses old technology rather than Active Directory but it if
it does what a user wants then that is a good thing especially when the
price is right. :) --- Steve

Brad and Steven thank you for responding. Yes Brad you were correct I wanted
a tool that one could input the user ID and the system they were currently
logged onto would be the output, preferably the System name and IP address.
Steven Thank you again for the solution.

The reason I was wondering about it being a VBS or WHS script is for
modification purpose, I was wanting to be able to add in a feature or two,
something like which services were running, memory and CPU usage.

I can't help you with a script but you may want to post in some of the
Windows scripting newsgroups and maybe someone there could help or point you
in the right direction. --- Steve
