Is there a way to resolve the computer name using a user's logon id? I
thought there might be something using ADODB.
 
Spend some "quality time" revising your policies. I think what you are
looking for is under Local Polies | Interactive Logon.

I always harden my systems to a CIS benchmark of 8 (out of 10) or higher.
Reference to the Benchmark is indicated in my sig.

If you are unfamiliar with the consequences of misconfiguring permissions,
however, PLEASE consult a seasoned IT professional. You may render your
system unusable. The standard caveat greets you at the top of the page. To
wit;

WARNING: You are not reading "Security For Dummies". If you are the
typical BDEU (brain-dead end-user) who finds it difficult to recall which
side of the keyboard faces skyward, you should STOP READING NOW! You might
hurt yourself. ;-)
 
Thanks for your post Scott D and I appreciate your attempt to help. I am not
sure if you’re Warning: is directed at me or is just a general quote. As well
as the local security policy has nothing to do with my question.

It seems you totally missed my question. I want to be able to take a user
logon ID and query the ADODB or something in AD to be able to get the
computer name the user is currently logged on to.

ALSO, I am very familiar with the CIS benchmark and Internet Security. I am
GSEC (SANS) certified.
 
Actually, I did misread the question. Nevertheless, it runs too far afield
for this forum. Please try an AD forum.

It is good to hear that you are familiar with CIS and security in general.

Cheers.
