I struggle with this every time I change my password.  I've had some
success using the psloggedon utility from sysinternal.com.  It's a free
utility that will tell whose logged onto a machine locally and/or
through resources, but you can restrict it to just local.  If you just
run it with a username, it will scan all machines it finds on the
network to see if the user is logged on.  You can redirect the results
to a file and review later (so psloggedon uname > output.txt).  That
works pretty good, but only works for one user at a time.  If you need
to check for multiple users and have a bunch of machines, it can take
quite some time.  What I've typically done is taken a list of all my
machines (use "net view" and then clean it up in Excel) and then put
together a batch to call psloggedon with a -l switch on each machine on
the network.  So, the batch contains a bunch of "psloggedon -l
\\compname <file:///\\compname> " commands.  Run that batch, redirect
the output to a file, and then search the output file in the morning for
all the users you're having problems with.

 

It's kind of awkward, but it works.  The utility is available at
www.sysinternals.com <http://www.sysinternals.com/> , or if you need it,
let me know off list.  Good luck

We have a few users who keep complaining about their accounts getting
locked out.  Is there a utility that can be used to find out the
computername or IP address of where a user is logged in on the domain or
how many times they are logged in?

 

My thinking is that he logged in on a warehouse PC, then logged in on
his own PC and then changed his password.  Since the warehouse PC is
still logged in under the old name, could this be causing the locking of
his account?

 

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated on this one.
