Hi,

I want to know how to search for the computer name in an AD when I have only
user login ID information on hand. No WINS, only DHCP and DNS. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

What user "logon" information? User?

Users AUTHENTICATE on the domain, and use that authentiction
to either LOGON or to ACCESS other resources.

You could turn on auditing and perhaps search or view the security
event log depending on what you are hoping to find.

From the event log, I found some users sent printout to print queues. I want
to know the computers from where they sent to print.

Thanks in advance.

Does the computer really matter? You might get what you
really need from AUDITING the Print Queue (perhaps not).

One (ongoing issue) is that many times when auditing "user
stuff" you don't get the computer, and when auditing "computer
stuff" you don't get the user or even an IP address.

SOME of this has been improved with the addition of IP addresses
etc to various event log entries.

Yes I want to know the computer name because I want to manage those print
queue assignment to computers by using group policy.
