On the server that hosts the user profiles, open up Computer Management, and look at the open share sessions. That will list the profiles being accessed against the IP being used - then use nslookup at a command prompt to get the name of the computer from the IP.
I have some software i wrote that records user logins and log outs to a database which is then pulled into a auto-updating spreadhseet. I know of no way to find this out using built in tools.
Although I did just think you could possibly find out from the user sessions on your file server.
Edit: What ^^he^^ said :P
Implement Webmans Login tracker - really easy and just works!
add something like this to your logon script
Quote:
echo %date% %time% %computername% %username% >>\\myserver\logon$\logons.txt
Will that make it append the logon info to the same text file or will it keep over writing it ?Quote:

DC event monitor > security
Use the event finder for username in the description section and at least one of the last 3 events will usually give an IP or computer name of their login.
