How to determine how many users logged on win2k domain

[Guest]

Hello All

I am trying to find out a way to determine how many and exactly who has logged onto our windows 2000 AD domain from midnight to the time I am running the report (i.e. midnight to 8:00AM). We are trying to gather some usage statistics and have not found a good way to determine the logged on user number.

Hi Josh,

Lakeside Software offers a tool, SysTrack, that can assist you in tracking activity. Their billing reports, will allow you to run a report for a specific time period, which will tell you who logged in, for how long, and what applications they used.

You can download a free trial from their website at www.LakesideSoftware.com

Good luck!

Hi

You could build your own logon/logoff tracking using logon/logoff
scripts, more here:

There are tools out there that can help you (with an agent installed
on every computer), I think the two products below should be able to
give you the information you want:

Microsoft's solution:
You could install the CCONNECT Microsoft Resource Kit utility onto
every computer, it is in the Win2k Server Resource Kit, Supplement 1
(pay ware, and you will need a SQL server database as well).

You can use auditing to track all success and/or failure attempts at user
logon (and a TON of other things too)

This will generate security events. There are some free tools out there
that you can use to generate reports based on this information (you'll have
to pardon me, I don't have any links for you :
