getting all the PCs in a Domain a specific user is logged in

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Hi,

I have the following problem. I need to find out on which PCs a certain
user is currently logged in. Since the user is logged into a domain, I
think that the Domain Controller must have this information.

But I didn't find any API with which that would be possible. With the
ADSI Object IADSSession, I can only find out which user is remotely
logged in into a specific server, and only if this server is running a
Server OS (Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003).

Is there a way to get this information?

Regards
Marco
