There is also an app called CConnect - or concurrent connections. This
requires a SQL backend (or msde I suppose) but the next version will use
NDNC's  if  I recall.

Oh sorry, you want to know *what* machine the user logged on from, not
just the fact that they logged on.
Yea, you need auditing for that like Marcus said.

But the thing I cited is probably the best way to find out when they
logged on last, with some time lag of course. Else you need to comb all
of the DCs.

Actually that's not entirely true. If you're running 2k03, we have a new
attribute we maintain for this very purpose. This was a FAQ in 2k days.

lastLogonTimestamp is the attribute you're looking for. Here's a page or
two on it:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adschema/adschema/a_lastlogontim
estamp.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adschema/adschema/a_msds_logonti
mesyncinterval.asp
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;828266

If you change msDS-LogonTimeSyncInterval, be careful or you'll be
pushing a ton of changes around the domain. We intentionally don't
replicate this thing every time a user logs on with default settings.

Mukul,

The only way you're going to get that information is from the event log.
Of course, there's some filtering you'll want to do as well.  Here's a
good article on the process:

Hi,

I am writing an application that would track the login logoff activities
of users. I can get lastlogin and lastlogoff information from AD, but I
also need to know the machine/IP on which that particular login/logoff
happened. How do I get this information?

Thanks
~ Mukul
