Determining username from IP in AD enviroment?

[ddrueding]

I have an IP, and from that a machine name. I need to know the username of who is currently logged in. Any advice?

Look at the user profiles and see which was modified most recently. That will get you closer. You may also check the security event logs.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I know the IP address and the machine name, but I have no idea where the box physically is. I want the username so I can locate the machine.

All the boxes I've built while here have the office number as the machine name, but some were done by others, and this machine is called "user1".

There's a program I've used for that called WMI Asset Logger that can pretty easily give you that information.

Thanks for the tip, Mercutio. It looks really good.

Yup, WMI Asset logger nailed it, thanks Mercutio.
