Is users logged in to domain and what machine?
I have a 2 part question that I am having no luck with.
1. I am trying to figure out some way to find out if a users is currently logged in to the domain 2. and if they are what is the workstation(s) (or ip) they are logged in to. [windows 2000 domain with windows 2000/xp workstations] I would eventually like to throw this information into a script but I can not even figure out how to get this information. Any information on how to even figure this out would be useful (third party tools) thanks.

Otherwise you would need to query every online system and determine who is logged on. This can be done through WMI or several freeware tools like my NetUsers.exe: http://www.optimumx.com/download/ Scott_FH wrote:

Hi, 1) As Marty, mentioned, create your own logging database, using logon /logoff script. 2) You might want to look into the LimitLogin tool: A while ago, Microsoft released a new tool designed to limit concurrent logons, called LimitLogin. To use it just as a logging tool, set a high limit on concurrent logons.
