trying to find the server that a user is logged into

Does anyone know what program shows the server that processed the user's
logon? I have a computer that the group policy is not getting updated on and
need to see where the policy is getting applied from.

Thank you,

Bill

Perhaps the variable %LogonServer%?

Thank you for the reply. I remember using a cmd line tool that showed the
server that processed the user's logon. I know I downloaded it from the MS
website but I can't remember the name of the tool.

Where whould I use that in a vb script?

Thank you,

Bill

Before you work out how to extract the %LogonServer% variable
for your VB Script, you must confirm that it DOES give you the
desired information. Open a Command Prompt and have a look
at your environmental variables! Does %LogonServer% reflect
the correct server in your environment?

Type in:

Or you could type in:

ECHO %LOGONSERVER%
