RE: Re[2]: locate windows workstation if you know the username

["Discussion Lists" <discussions () lagraphico com>]

Coupla other possibilities . . . If this is a search on a domain, and
you have the appropriate privs, you can use vbscript to do this.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colComputer = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each objComputer in colComputer
Wscript.Echo objComputer.UserName
Next

You'd just have to add to the script so that it enumerates AD, or reads
in a list of IP's and scans each one in succession.  I've used the first
method successfully in the past, but not for the same purposes as yours.

I doubt this would work though without domain admin credentials.
