User PC logon

[Guest]

Is there a way to go under 'All Users', select a username, and then view what PC (computer name) they are currently logged into on our domain?

Thank you.

Unfortunately Windows doesn't store that in a central location that would allow an application to easily find out. What we've done is found that a particular registry key on each computer will give us the logged on user. So, what you have to do is select your computers in Hyena's right window, then right-click and choose View Logged on Users. When this finishes you can use the Copy to Clipboard button and paste into Excel.

This process can take quite a while to run, so what most customers do is run it once a week or however frequently necessary and then simply refer to the spreadsheet when they need to find a particular user. Most users don't move around much, so once a week seems to be fairly safe for most environments.
