Here it is .......   You will also need a batch file named datetime.bat that I did not write.  It is below this batch place it in the same directory as the LOGON.CMD.  I have over 400 users in this domain that I run this on and the whole log file is less than 130K for 1 month.  Very simple and can pull into Excel for quick checks.  Hope this helps.   - Joe S.   ---------------------- Start Cut Here for LOGON.CMD ------------------------------------------ @echo off   ::call  datetime.bat to set date variables  call %logonserver%\NETLOGON\Scripts\datetime  ::is machine NT4 or W2K (I do this just to know)   if exist "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings" goto W2K  goto NT4   :W2K    Set VERSION=W2K  goto CONTINUE   :NT4  Set VERSION=NT4  goto CONTINUE   :CONTINUE  :: EX: DateLogon,timelogon,MachineName,Username,Logonserver,OS  :: Output: 04/05/2002,4:32p,JDOE_W2K,JMDoe,\\Server,NT4  :: write the following line in comma delimted format   echo %vdate%,%vtime%,%COMPUTERNAME%,%USERNAME%,%LOGONSERVER%,%VERSION%>>\\server\logonuser\login.txt    goto End   :End   ------------------------  End Cut Here for LOGON.CMD ---------------------------------------     ----------------------  Start cut here for DATETIME.BAT --------------------------------------   :: __________________________________________________________________ :: ::  Batch File:      DATETIME.BAT ::  Author:          Frank-Peter Schultze :: ::  Updates:         http://www.fpschultze.de/b6.htm ::  Enhancement Req. ::  And Bug Reports: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: ::  Built/Tested On: MS-DOS 6.22, Windows 98 SE, Windows NT 4.0 ::  Requirements:    OS: MS-DOS 5+, Windows NT4+ :: ::  Purpose:         Set DATE/TIME Variable To The System Date/Time. :: ::  Syntax:          No arguments required. :: ::  State Changes:   Reduces free environment space. :: ::  Assumptions And ::  Limitations:     * Does not handle low environment errors. :: ::  Last Update:     2001-12-01 :: __________________________________________________________________ ::    @Echo Off     If Not %1'==/?'
