Wondering if there was a way to see which computers a domain user
account is logged into. I know that I could audit, but is there any
method besides auditing. Thanks.

If you have a Windows 2003 domain controller you can use limitlogon though
it requires a server and client component that can be implemented via Group
Policy Software Installation. Also the free PsLoggedOn from SysInternals may
help but be sure to read how it works. --- Steve

PsLoggedOn's definition of a locally logged on user is one that has their
profile loaded into the Registry, so PsLoggedOn determines who is logged on
by scanning the keys under the HKEY_USERS key. For each key that has a name
that is a user SID (security Identifier), PsLoggedOn looks up the
corresponding user name and displays it. To determine who is logged onto a
computer via resource shares, PsLoggedOn uses the NetSessionEnum API. Note
that PsLoggedOn will show you as logged on via resource share to remote
computers that you query because a logon is required for PsLoggedOn to
access the Registry of a remote system
