Finger

In my vbscript, I shelled to the 'Finger -l username' command and I got the
following message in return:
Finger: connect::Connection refused

I am using Windows Xp in the Windows 2000 AD domain environment.

What I want to achieve is to find out what host (computer) the 'username' is
logged in. I know the Finger command in Unix will return such information.
What is the work-around in the Windows environment to locate the computer
that the 'username' is logged on? I appreciate your help.
