Hrvoje,

I don't believe that you can do that, since there are many different
ways that a user can be logged on (a user can be logged on to two different
machines), and I don't believe that the domain controller keeps track of
this.

Are you in a controlled environment? Meaning, could you get an app
installed on every machine which will do this for you (you would have to
write a replacement for GINA as well, but I don't know that will intercept
calls to LogonUser though, which could be a problem).

Hope this helps.

If you want to know wheter the current user is a domain user, you can check
the environment variable USERDOMAIN.

Running XP or higher, you can use System.Management and WMI's class
win32_useraccount.

Here is a sample..

String username = new
WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()).Ide ntity.Name;
username = username.Insert(username.IndexOf('\\'), @"\");
// check if current user is a non local account
string queryString = "select Domain from win32_useraccount where
localaccount=false and caption='" + username + "'" ;
using(ManagementObjectSearcher query = new ManagementObjectSearcher( new
SelectQuery(queryString)))
{
foreach( ManagementObject mo in query.Get()) {
Console.WriteLine( "Domain '{0}'", mo["Domain"].ToString());
}
}

If you are looking for the curent interactive logon user(s) things get a bit
more complicated.

Willy.
