Some unanswered questions:

Where does your association of user name to machine come from (i.e. just NetBIOS)? Do you mean currently logged on console user? What about remote access users? Same user may be logged in to multiple locations? Is this on a domain? Got admin perms to the machines/DCs you intend to query?

NET SESSIONS in a server commandprompt will give you the accounts used to make network connections, and the originating computers. The quick-and-dirty approach is to redirect its output to a temp file, and parse the fields in this file with your script.

The more elegant approach is to figure-out what DLL calls NET SESSIONS makes to get this info. Probably a LOT more work, though.

These sessions are not necessarily the same logons as used locally, of course. To get those, you would be best inspecting the computer's environment variables via a (logon) script.
