On which machine an AD user is logged?

Question

So I have single forest, single domain infrastructure. 8 DCs if it would help. I need to find out on which machine(joined in the domain) given AD user is logged. For example user tt4567 is logged on ws32t45. All DCs are running on Win 2012 R2. I'm wondering
if there is a way to do it with AD or some other MS tools and which ones they would be?

Hi,
But because client logon your site DC process may failure (the network delay), so the client may logon any of your forest DC, You can use the following two options
for the user logon event auditing, then create the script filter the user logon information.
Option 1:
 1. Enable Auditing on the domain level by using Group Policy:
 Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Audit Policy
There are two types of auditing that address logging on, they are Audit Logon Events and Audit Account Logon Events.
Audit "logon events" records logons on the PC(s) targeted by the policy and the results appear in the Security Log on that PC(s).
 Audit "Account Logon" Events tracks logons to the domain, and the results appear in the Security Log on domain controllers only
 2. Create a logon script on the required domain/OU/user account with the following content:
  echo %date%,%time%,%computername%,%username%,%sessionname%,%logonserver% >>
 \\SERVER\SHARENAME$\LOGON.LOG
 3. Create a logoff script on the required domain/OU/user account with the following content:
  echo %date%,%time%,%computername%,%username%,%sessionname%,%logonserver% >>
 \\SERVER\SHARENAME$\LOGOFF.LOG
 Note: Please be aware that unauthorized users can change this scripts, due the requirement that
  the SHARENAME$ will be writeable by users.
 Option 2:
 Use WMI/ADSI to query each domain controller for logon/logoff events.
