Finger

I use vbscrtip shell to the 'Finger -l username' command but returned the
following message:
Finger: connect::Connection refused

I am using Windows XP in the Windows AD domain environment.
The purpose of my script is to find what HOST (the computer) the 'username'
is logged in. I
know the finger command in UNIX will reveal that information. However, the
finger command in Windows gives me the 'connection refused' error. How to
work around in the Windows environment to find the HOST that the 'username'
is logged in? I appreciate your help.
