How can I find which computer in the domain a user is logged on to?
Are you running SMS or Novell ZENworks by any chance? Both can return that information.

PsLoggedOn, from SysInternals, will determine the who is logged onto a local or remote computer, locally and/or remotely. If you enter a user name, it will search the network.

'If you have a WINS server, you can query the WINS database with the username which will show you the associated IP address. You can then query the IP Address to find the associated computer name."
If you don't have too many computers you could script up a batch file that runs psloggedon on each machine.
I always found google groups a great resource for this type of question. Good Luck!
