Get Computername for a Specific User

How can I determine the specific Computername that a User is logged on to,
given only the Username/ID account? I know several ways to easily determine
who the Username/ID is logged on to any given computer, but can't figure out
the other way around. I need to determine which Computername (among
hundreds) that User Jane Smith is logged in to. This capability does not
appear possible on a Microsoft AD Network via MMC, command line methods, nor
the other WinXP OS system tools. I would prefer to incorporate a command
line method into a batchfile script; a Visual Basic script or PowerShell
script would also fit my needs; or a third-party (executable) utility. I
don't want to run an 'install' onto all the hundreds of computers, although
copying a single file to the computers and then executing it remotely is
okay. I want the resulting User's Computername to be written to a simple
text file on a network path or onto my PC, and optionally displayed on my
screen. All scripts/methods are welcomed. Thanks in advance for help.
Microsoft should add this network administration/management capability to
the MS Network and/or PC OS system tools.

Look at "Shared Folders - Sessions" under MMC, which lists account names and
computer IP addresses.
