Hello,
is there any tool that I can know the logon time of each computer in my
network? all the computers are Win 2000 and they are connected to an active
directory under Win 2000 server with a domain. I just want to know each time
the user logs on into his/her computer.
any help would be highly appreciated

You could add this line to your domain logon script:

@echo off
.. . . .
echo %date% %time% %UserName% %ComputerName% >>
\\YourServer\YourShare\logon.log

This works well as long as the probability of two simultaneous
logon events is low.

go to active directory users and computers under the administrative
tools. if you wish to log the logon events for only your client
machines, select the OU that contains them. The name would be Computers
most probably. right click the container and select properties. click on
the group policy tab and add a new group policy. edit the new group
policy and look for the auditing container. set the 'audit logon events'
to audit successful/failed logon events as per your requirement. attach
this group policy and you're done.

hope that does it.

cheers

Talk to your network administrator and ask him to insert that
line into his logon script. He will know what a logon script is.
