logged on users in AD site

Have separate AD site. A small remote site with few users. I am trying to find who is logged on to domain from that site. What is the best way to do that?

You can do that by looking up the logon events in the Security Eventlog of all domain controllers which are in that AD site.
Also make sure that all IP-addresses within that remote site are defined  in "AD Sites and Services/Sites/Subnets" and these subnets are assigned to the AD site. In this way you are sure that all users within that site are only using these AD domain controllers.

These are the most important event IDs.
Logon/Logoff events
  Logon: 4624,4625,4648,4675
  Logoff: 4634,4647
Account Logon events
  Kerberos: 4768,4769
  Credential Validation: 4774,4776
Privilege Use events
  Special Logon: 4672
On the local PCs you could run set in command prompt and take a look at what logon server is set to.  Alternatively you could also run echo %logonserver%
