we populate the comment field on login with the user name. in xp when i look
at "Microsoft Windows Network" it shows the comment field and it's easy to
identify which users are on which machines. I can't get Vista to show me the
same information. in network, how do i get it to show a column with the
comments?

A workaround:

I've found an answer for this one.

From an XP computer on your domain, create a shortcut to your network:
1. Open My Network Places
2. Click "Entire Network" on the left.
3. Open "Microsoft Windows Network"
4. Right-click your network and click "Create Shortcut"

Copy that shortcut to your Vista machine and you should be good to go.
