The easiest way is to insert this line into your logon script:

 

echo %date% %time:~0,5% %Username% %ComputerName% >>

\\YourServer\SomeShare\logon.log

What if the user is already logged in and I would like to check which

of the PCs he's using?

I'm not aware of a suitable method (which does not mean

that it does not exist!) but if you have an idea of the machine's

name or IP address then you can check it with psloggedon.exe

(http://www.sysinternals.com).

Nothing keeps track of which use is logged into which PC. Some third party

tools may do this. I've used logon scripts, as suggested above, to keep log

files. Sometimes you can tell who is logged into which PC by enumerating the

sessions on a server, but this is very unreliable. The sessions come and go.

A VBScript example:

==========

Set objDC = GetObject("WinNT://MyServer/LanmanServer")

 

For Each objSession In objDC.Sessions

Wscript.Echo "Session: " & objSession.Name _

vbCrLf & "User: " & objSession.User _

vbCrLf & "Computer: " & objSession.Computer _

vbCrLf & "Connect Time: " & objSession.ConnectTime _

vbCrLf & "Idle Time: " & objSession.IdleTime
