Greetings! We have been directed to have all our workstations named with a department code, a location (State) code, and the Dell (mostly) service tag number...
There is a script which will tell us, in AD, who the last person is to have logged into that machine. PROBLEM: 1. In the summer, we have like 18 student workers. They must find an unoccupied desk. If the "owner" of that desk comes in, they must move. They have no assigned desk. (A single user may need to move 3 times during a single shift.) 2. SO, in my phone system console, or in my VIPRE console, I see that the machine named [gibberish] has had some sort of issue with the VoIP system, or that there is a malware infection (and we may need to boot into SafeMode to do a re-scan). 3. We see a temp worker was the last person to log into that workstation... HOW or WHAT might we use so that we can figure out which of the 60 or so desks actually has the machine name in question? Those who had us change our naming convention (and they have more users than to we) are in a situation where desktop systems are not shared. We do not have this luxury. The other location is finally beginning to understand our complaints. SO, is there some sort of utility, etc that would enable us to find the machine "[gibberish]", where "Fred Temp" was the last person logged in? I'd settle for a button that would make that machine start beeping, if nothing else. Thanks! -- Richard D. McClary Jr Infrastructure Architect, Information Technology Group ASPCA® 1717 S.
