<p>AFAIK, AD doesn't "know" a user is "logged in", because AD is not a login service, rather than an information source (e.g. *can* you login or not with the credentials provided). Also, you may be logged in to multiple stations on the domain... which one is the important to you? How would it know?</p>
<p>You need workstations/server level info, not AD, IMHO.</p>
<p>For example you could query NetBIOS via nbtstat -A ipaddr from a remote windows machine... there should be samba equivalent (don't remember by heart, sending this from my sgs2)</p>
<p>Hope this helps...</p>
