Hi Shane Ah you are looking the other way round, sorry not aware of anything is stored in the ad on this info. You could though on a stupid workaround method, create a simple batch file - attach it to all users via gpo logonscript - things like below @echo off Echo [%date% %time%]: %username%@%computername% logged on >> \\yourdomain.com\netlogon\pclist.txt Run it in a week and you have that list of users..again this isnt something fun to be done.. Thank you and have a splendid day!

This is a bit of an old way of doing things, but if the client machines are running the messenger service and they're registering with WINS, it'll register the userid into the WINS database with the IP address of the machine they've logged onto. If not, I'd do the scripting thing - but send it to a database Travis -----Original Message----- From: ActiveDir-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Freddy HARTONO Sent: 01 December 2005 14:17 To: ActiveDir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: reΐ]: [ActiveDir] Getting computer name from a username Importance: Low Hi Shane Ah you are looking the other way round, sorry not aware of anything is stored in the ad on this info.
