RE: [ActiveDir] User to computer

[freddy_hartono]

If you didn't clear the lastlogon username security settings - I guess this may 
help to query which machine belongs to which user. 

(Not the other way unfortunately)

reg query "\\server\HKLM\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon" 
/v defaultusername
reg query "\\server\HKLM\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon" 
/v altdefaultusername

Thank you and have a splendid day!

You can try to use psloggedon.exe - 
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsLoggedOn.html

Another solution is to deploy LimitLogon:
http://bink.nu/Article3619.bink


And Yes, You can use VBScript with some calls to scan machines but ... 
the logon script which will report a username to the database (approach 
similar to this used in LimitLogin) will give You good results.

There is a client deployed on the machines and the client can report it 
back to the server.

The company I'm working at right now put all their computer objects in the 
computer folder and I want to move some user's(about 40) pc's to an ou so I can 
push out an msi via computer GPO.
However I know which users should get the msi but not which pc they use.
I don't want the msi to follow them around if they move pc', so I'd rather this 
be a computer based install.




P.S- on a side note, does anyone know how the Symantec Console gets to info in 
Symantec Corporate AV?
