Remote App / RDS / Remote Desktop service last login pc location

Hi we have 1000 users and are going to implement the ability to connect back to your desktop PC's via remote app and RD Web.  the only issue with this is that is causes a lot of support tickets when people forget their machine names and need us to get them for them.  Is there a way that we can force the last logged onto pc into the MSTSC console window, or at least provide a powershell script or something so that they can check their last logged onto PC themselves.  I used to work at credit suisse and this worked seamlessly through Citrix but not sure what options are in this day and age.

Can't you assign a "Personal Virtual Desktop" through Active Directory and do it that way?

Citrix works seamlessly because you assign the desktop to a particular user, can't you do this through some form of collection in RDSH, by assigning one machine and one user to it?
You can always use sysinternals bginfo and configure it to show the computername on the desktop
