Maintain Logon Log ?

[Dan]

Does Windows 2000 (Or can Windows 2000) maintain a log of which local users
log on when, and for what period of time?

I'm in the process of setting up about 50 accounts for all the individuals
that will be using a computer, and we will need a way to track back any
problems to a particular person based upon the time that issue occured and
who was logged on to the comptuer at that time.


Thanks much,
Dan

You can incorporate a logging line into your logon script:

echo %date% %time% PC=%ComputerName% User=%Username%
You then schedule a job to run once every day to scoop up
all entries:

@echo off
for %%a in (\\YourServer\SomeShare\*.*) do type %%adel /q \\YourServer\SomeShare\*.*
