How Do I Find Out the Computer Name (hostname) Associated to the User's Account.

Hi,

I need to know this user's computer name since we go by Asset Tag number. Is there a  way in Active Directory that I can search it?

Thank a lot!

It does not associate the comupter name with the user's domain name.
Anyone can use any computer on a domain, so all you will get are what computers are connected.

If you want to see who is logged on, you will have to turn on auditing on the server and then you can find out going forward.

What I actually do is to record the user and computer names in an SQL database via my logon script.
This makes it super fast to know which PC a user is/has been on.
You might also be able to query SCCM for this information if you have that.
