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.
