Since Windows doesn't track who logs in to what workstation and each Windows user can login, or I should say connect, to many Windows machines at the same time, this will be an inaccurate map.

But, for the most part, people only login to the workstation and attach to a few servers. You would have to have a component (Windows Service) running on every workstation to record login and logout events and what the user ID is. This service would have to report to a center server component that maintains a database of currently logged in users and what machine they're on. This is the easy part.

The hard part is showing the map and maintaining the datastore behind it. You'll need to write a small control that represents a workstation and displays its status, name and user ID that's logged in. There will also have to be a manager application that shows your map, creates and places controls for each workstation, and communicates with the central server to get each workstations status. The server could also log each change in status to another table in its database.

It would probably be a good idea to impliment a subscription service on the server that this manager application uses to get notifications of status changes from the server instead of the manager polling the server every some-odd seconds to get every workstation status. This is because logins/logouts don't occur often and constantly polling a server for things that don't change much is just a waste of resources and bandwidth.
