Title: Message
Looks like a neat solution to the problem but what if there are a significant number of users/workstations, would there be contention on file writes to a single file at peak logon periods?
 
If that was a problem then perhaps a log file per workstation would be a way around it.  Not as neat as a single file but not too difficult to search through to find a particular user's activity.

Joe,
 
Thank you very much for the scripts.  They worked very well.  I did run into some problems in the beginning only to find out that my \netlogon\scripts directory was being shared as \netlogon.

Forgot about the logouts.  Copy the logon.cmd and name it Logout.cmd.  I would place another comma delimiter and insert LOGIN into each entry for logon.cmd and LOGOUT for logout.cmd.  This would make it quick and easy.
 
Added each of these batch files to the Group Policy for the OU or domain for scripts to run login and logout.

I have not tried this with tracking logins, but I am sure it will work.  I have done it when applying reg hacks etc. via batch.  Just create a script that runs at logon and logoff that writes to a txt file on a server somewhere.  You can even put in the time and date etc.  Works great for me when I want to know who ran what at what time.

Hello,
 
Does anyone know how to track user's login/logout/session timeout activity within a Win 2000 Domain?  I know it's possible through group policy but there is a lot of irrelevant information that I would have to filter, and as far as I know I cannot automate the filtering in Windows.  All I  need is a sofware/solution that tells me when user "Joe Bloggs " logged in, logged out, and wether he left his desk for an extended period of time.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
-Henrique
