I have a mix of XP and 2000 computers here and want to find an easy way to
use the network to find out which computer or computers a user is logged into

the welcome screen. However, if you disable the welcome screen, you can login
normally. The account IS there, just not viewable from the welcome screen.
Thanks

I set up account lockout policies to lock an account after several tries, but when I
changed my password, the account gets locked out constantly (though just retrying a few
