How to Log logins

[Jason M]

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
