Okay, lets try this again.

If a user logs into a local machine with one username & password, then logs
into a server as a domain user using a different username & password (while
still logged into the local machine)), is there any way to find out all the
different machines the user is logged into, what username they used to log in
with and which logins are local and which are part of a domain?

Hopefully I've used the right terminology this time. Sorry for the confusion.
