Hi,

Is there a method/way/utility that would allow me to look at the computers that show up (by computername) on my network and determine what/ who is the user is logged on to that machine?

Thanks for any help you can give;)

You can use sessions to figure out whos online on which machine. But if he doesnt log out and closes the browser he still logged

if you do it from commad line you can most likely do it using the php system() function ;-)

$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] on Windows domains, I believe. (Might require IIS or a PDC at least)
