HI all

Is there a way where i can check when people logged onto a specific pc with
the username and password. our finance pc was logged on yesterday and the
person was not at her desk. How can i track what time was logged on to the
pc and is it possible to see who the user was also. We have win xp pro and
log onto a WinSer2003 domain. Please help me? - Craig

You can insert the following line into your logon script:

echo %date% %time:~0,5% %ComputerName% %UserName% >>
\\YourServer\Logs\logon.log

This works well for up to perhaps 20 users. Above this number
you need to refine the script in order to avoid file sharing violation
incidents when two people log on at the same time.
 
Pegasus, thanks for the info.
2things: 1) I don't know scripts at all. any link where i can learn to work
with it or is there another way to get this info except for scripts and...
2) i have approx 60 users that i want to implement this.How will this affect
the script if this is my only option

Thanks for your help
 
You have to ask your network administrator about the domain
logon script. He will know where it resides.

If you want the script to affect your machine only then you can store
the line of code I gave you in this text file:

c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup\netlogon.bat

To make it run almost invisibly, make it two lines:

@echo off
echo %date% %time:~0,5% %UserName% >> c:\windows\logon.log
