Is there a way to find the workstation a user is logged in by using the users login ID like nbtstat or net command etc.?
Thanks!

You can do a bit of a sneaky, but it's not very elegant...use a NET SEND to send an innocuous message to the user, then use NBTSTAT -c to see their IP address. You can then use ping -a to resolve their computer name from the IP address.

It works but it is intrusive to the users. I need something without interupting the users. Thanks for the reply.

If it's Win2k Server you can right click on My Computer>Manage>Shared Folders>Sessions.

If it doesn't resolve the workstation name in there, you can use nbtstat -A IP ADDRESS to find the computer name

If you have the Win2000 Resource Kit you can use the program CConnect which is listed under Additional Components/Microsoft Applications.
