Re: find system user is currently logged onto

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.
