Re: find system user is currently logged onto

Steve,

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

Cool utility...

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,

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

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
