Is there a way to find/unhide a users pc name from the network? i'm trying to do an audit to a remote site,1 domain, but apparently the user somehow hid/changed his pc name and i cannot see what/where he is logged into.

this would have to be changed on the local machine of the user in question. if you can't see the pc in under computer management/users, it can't be changed fromt the network.

go to your desktop and click on My Network Place and then click on View Workgroup Computers. Then you'll see all the computer on the network. If he is hidden it, he is not on the network. You can't hide your computer name on the network.
good luck
