I am trying to get a list of users and IP addresses of the system(s)
they are curently logon. Is it possible to get this information from
the Active Directory/Domain controller.

I know I can get a list of users and computers separately. Is it
possible to link users to the IP addresses ho system they logon at a
given time.

Thanks!

Number of options, non of which are native to the OS:

1. You can use srvmgr (NT style), which is available in the resource kit.

2. You can do an nbstat -a <machinename> against the machine in question
and you should see the <03> record of any user logged in on that PC.

3. Or you can use WMI. This below was posted awhile back.I have not tried
it, therefore I cannot answer any questions regarding syntax errors.

WMI provides a nice way of doing this. A VBScript example:

strComputer = WScript.Arguments(0)
Set wbemServices = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer &
"\root\cimv2") Set wbemObjectSet =
wbemServices.InstancesOf("Win32_ComputerSystem")

For Each wbemObject In wbemObjectSet
WScript.Echo "Current User: " & wbemObject.UserName
Next

If you saved the above as currentuser.vbs, you could call it from
command-line as:
cscript currentuser.vbs <computername-to-check>
Or, you could change strComputer to be the name of the computer to
check.

There are other scripts you can possibly use at Microsoft's Script Center at
www.technet.com, or you can visit http://cwashington.netreach.net for
thousands of free scripts and I'm sure one or two will do what you are
looking for.'

Don't know if you have seen this utility Ace, it can tie up computer name
and IP in a handy GUI...

http://www3.sympatico.ca/gtopala/

Can't say I've used / tested it much but it seems very stable. I do know it
behaves a little differently on domain controllers but for what I've used it
I don't know how differently. Runs fine on 2000, XP and 2003 as far as I can
tell.

Nice tool, Charlie. Looks almost like Everest, formerly Aida. Thanks!

One of my clients uses Retina, it's all the above and then some (security
scan, vulnerabilities, etc), but it is VERY expensive!

I think E-Eye are very likely to produce an excellent quality product so I'm
sure you are right. I think SIW takes some practice finding your way around
but it seems very well written and reliable so far (Considering the price).

I agree.

I'm going to try that tool you mentioned at one of my clients.

Well I think maybe it's something a client might get used to a bit easier
than the typed commands... I find I forget a lot of things I don't use very
often and the GUI at least acts as a reminder of what's there :)

Course my excuse is old age

Nah. I wouldn't attribute it to age, but rather do you actually feel like
dealing wtih the command line syntax each and every time!
