is there any GUI which allows you to see which users are logged onto all workstations connected to the domain? I believe a utility called "Network Watch" was available in NT 4 Server Resource Kit - which did this.

Is there anything simular for 2003 Server?
 
This information can be found in WINS. It's not as pretty as the NT 4.0 GUI but it works.

Select WINS from Administrative Tools.
Right click on Active Registrations.
Select Display Records.
Press Find Now.
 
use :- nbtstat -a ipaddress
or:- nbtstat -a netbiosname

that will tell you who is logged on to the pc
 
Also, what you can do, is go into Manage on any machine (right-click My Computer etc) and then change to a server that contains network drives that users will connect to.

Go into System Tools - Shared Folders - Sessions and this will list all the users logged on and have a connection to a share on that server along with PC name.
