I could make %LOGONSERVER% variable recognized only after a real user has logged
on on a given machine (i.e., in a logon script).

If I remember correctly, %LOGONSERVER% is not recognized if one runs a command
via a Task Scheduler, even when executed as a domain user (for example,
DOMAIN\Administrator).
Or, this was because I used Samba, which would be an equivalent to NT4 domain,
which doesn't use DNS.
