How to log users log-on-off time

[Guest Miha]

Hi

 

Is it possible in Win2003 domain environment to get infromations when users

log-on and log-off into their computers?

My boss wants that when a user log-on and log-off into his computers, he

automatically gets an e-mail with the following data:

- user that has logged on/off

- the time of log-on/off

Can this be arranged via GPO or do we need custom VBS script? If so, does

anyone have it allready?

Thank you all in advance.

Regards,

Miha

Sounds like you'll wanna tweak the login and logout scripts.

For the info itself, look at some of system tools as http://www.systinternals.com

such as psloggedon

Maybe it would be better when you configure your logon and logoff script to

add a line with the desired data (username, time of logon/logoff,

domain,action, ect ect) to a file on a server share and name the file after

the computer.

 

For instance you create a (hidden?)share and let every script report to a

file in that share.

 

You'd have something like this:

 

\\MyServer\PClogs$\%computername%.txt

 

Your boss will have a complete listing of all used computers, the frequency

of use and which user logs on to that computer.

This is a much easier way of checking and archiving this kind of data.

 

Just my 2 cents. :-)
