trying to find the server that a user is logged into

[Guest Bill]

Does anyone know what program shows the server that processed the user's

logon? I have a computer that the group policy is not getting updated on and

need to see where the policy is getting applied from.

 

Thank you,

 

Bill

Perhaps the variable %LogonServer%?

Thank you for the reply. I remember using a cmd line tool that showed the

server that processed the user's logon. I know I downloaded it from the MS

website but I can't remember the name of the tool.

 

Where whould I use that in a vb script?

 

Thank you,

 

Bill

Re: trying to find the server that a user is logged into

 

Before you work out how to extract the %LogonServer% variable

for your VB Script, you must confirm that it DOES give you the

desired information. Open a Command Prompt and have a look

at your environmental variables! Does %LogonServer% reflect

the correct server in your environment?

how do I see the environmental variables at the cmd line?

Type in:

 

SET

 

--> Press <ENTER>

 

 

Or you could type in:

 

ECHO %LOGONSERVER%

 

--> Press <ENTER>
