We have a number of computers here that are used by different people
with roaming profiles. I would like to know who uses what machine -
preferrably without having to look at the local profiles on each
machine. Is this information recorded somewhere by active directory?

No, it is not in AD. You would have to search for profiles on every
computer. I think this could be done with a script using WMI to connect to
each computer remotely and search for profiles. This doesn't seem practical
in a large network.
