Is it possible to create a log of everytime a person logs in or logs out of

their computer which is running XP Pro? Or is there someway you can setup

the Event Viewer to log or display this info?

Put the following lines into the files

c:\Windows\logon.bat and c:\Windows\logoff.bat:

 

@echo off

%date% %time%: User %UserName% logged on >> c:\Windows\logs.txt

 

@echo off

%date% %time%L User %UserName% logged off >> c:\Windows\logs.txt

 

Now invoke these files by following this path:

Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Group Policy /

User Configuration / Windows Settings / Scripts (Logon/Logoff)

Jason,

 

Not sure of the event viewer way but yes you can do it

 

Some firewalls log logins

Use the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

registry key could be used to run something

 

Of course there are many other ways too
