Hi All,

I'm trying to find a way to get the IP of the machine which the user in question is currently logged on.

windows 2000 domain
winXP clients

example : i want to know which machine (IP or DNS name) user1 is currently logged on.

Thanks

Does anyone have an idea what to do? or to start looking for?

i dont really understand ur problem.

you want to find the ip of the client wich is logged into the server ?

I believe he wants to be able to map a username to the current IP or computer name that they are using.

Sorry if this was not clear.

Basically we have a windows domain and all workstation are WinXP. The users logon to different workstations each time .
For example lets say we have workstations (WS01, WS02) and users (U01, U02)
U01 may use WS01 on Sunday and on Mandy he may use WS02.
I need a way to find out:
1- which user is loged on WS01 or
2- Which workstation is U01 currently using

is there a command in windows to find this? without installing a third party software.

I don't know of a way to do it without third party software. I use LANdesk myself.

Try googling 'nbtstat' commands

yeah nbstat might help otherwise the connection log in the admin tools in windows should tell u wich computer is connected to the server and wich user is currently logged onto that computer.

Thanks, i found this link on using nbtstat
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kb...ips/Accounts/Nbtstatrevealswhoisloggedon.html

it says in the end : Note: If file and print sharing is turned off by policy in a network, nbtstat.exe –a will not return a user name.

i ran nbtsta -a it doesnt show the user names, although the file and print sharing is installed and enbaled on the adaptor.

any idea?

I created a script that assists with this, and may work for you. It basically searches file servers / any server where a user may have a network session, and performs a remote "net session" and searches for the username you're after. It works very well for me. I've also added a load of other features (automatic remote assistance etc etc)

Check it out here (make sure you read the doc) :

Hope this helps.
