I'm new here so if this violates the customs
of this board, I'll not do it again.

I have been using the following batch based
solution for a while now. I only post it because
the batch is just a wrapper around the WINSCL
Resource Kit (NT and 2k) utility, so could be
easily modified to Kix, (which will be a nice
first homework assignment for me). Also, it's
the only way I have found to accomplish this.

Useage is 'locate username', where username is a
valid NT username in your domain. Winscl.exe
from the 2k Server Resource Kit and winsrpc.dll
from a Windows 2000 Server are required in your
path. And a functioning WINS environment, of
course.
code:
01. @echo off
02. if .%1.==.. GoTo :Useage
03. if not .%2.==.. GoTo :Useage
04. setlocal
05. set nameIP=
06. echo YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_HERE > winscl.txt
07. echo QN >> winscl.txt
08. echo %1 >> winscl.txt
09. echo 1 >> winscl.txt
10. echo 03 >> winscl.txt
11. echo 0 >> winscl.txt
12. echo EX >> winscl.txt
13. 
14. for /f "tokens=3 delims=)( " %%i in ('winscl.exe T ^< winscl.txt ^| Find "Address is"') do set nameIP=%%i
15. if not defined nameIP (for /f "tokens=7 delims=)( " %%j in ('winscl.exe T ^< winscl.txt ^| Find "Member is"') do set nameIP=%%j)
16. for /f "tokens=2" %%k in ('ping -a -n 1 %nameIP% ^| Find "Pinging"') do set host=%%k
17. echo For username:  %1
18. echo At IP Address: %nameIP%
19. echo Hostname is:   %host%
20. endlocal
21. GoTo :eof
22. 
23. :Useage
24. echo.
25. echo Locate.bat, Written 2002 by Jim Robinson
26. echo.
27. echo Requirements: 
28. echo =============
29. echo WINS
30. echo Windows 2000,
31. echo locate.bat, 
32. echo winscl.exe  (from the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit),
33. echo winsrpc.dll (from a Windows 2000 Server).
34. echo All located in the current directory or a directory in your path.
35. echo.
36. echo Useage:
37. echo =======
38. echo locate username
39. echo Where username is an NT username on your network.
40. echo.
41. echo Modifications:
42. echo ==============
43. echo Change the IP address in the script to the IP address of your
44. echo local WINS server.
