We have SMS, Kerberos, and who knows what else. All I know is right now I have to call the LAN dudes and they look up the IP in AD. Don't know if it comes from a login.script process, accounting function, don't care. I know it's there and I can get at it - somehow!

How are you going to populate AD with this information to associate a machine (computer object) with its user? There is no association or recording, by default, in AD, unless you have a login script updating the computer object or a table somewhere. Or if you have something like LANDesk or SMS that manages the PCs and records the interactive logins for your workstations, and query against that. Jeremy Campbell Premium Financing Specialists, Inc.

Hello, In our environment our machine names (DNS, WINS, etc.) are asset ID numbers - not common user names. When trying to figure out a user name for a specific IP, it's kinda a hassle. I'm wondering if someone would be interested in building me an additional resolve or whois function so I can resolve these names against an LDAP / AD table. I THINK I can get the visibility required to do so via LDAP. Ideally the resolve / lookup process will do this new function if an IP address falls within a defined range (our internal RFC-1918 IP's for example). If that's too much hassle, if I had an additional button on the html page(s) to "getUnameFromLDAP" - that would be cool too. If $$ would be required to make this happen quickly - or at all - let me know and I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
