I don't think CConnect was ever fully (and successfully) implemented. I believe it was a theory that died midway. The reason I say this is because I have yet to meet anyone who uses it in production, and I personally spent a lot of time trying to make it work some 4 years ago.
For what Mukul is look for, I handle this thru login script and append an "echo %COMPUTERNAME%" to a %logonserver%\sysvol\%username%.log file available on all the DCs. There is a scheduled job that deletes any \%username%.log older than 30 days.

There is also an app called CConnect - or concurrent connections. This requires a SQL backend (or msde I suppose) but the next version will use NDNC's if I recall.

Yea, you need auditing for that like Marcus said. But the thing I cited is probably the best way to find out when they logged on last, with some time lag of course. Else you need to comb all of the DCs. ~Eric -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fleischman Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 9:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Tracking the machine from which user logs in Actually that's not entirely true. If you're running 2k03, we have a new attribute we maintain for this very purpose. This was a FAQ in 2k days. lastLogonTimestamp is the attribute you're looking for. Here's a page or two on it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adschema/adschema/a_lastlogontim estamp.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/adschema/adschema/a_msds_logonti mesyncinterval.asp http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;828266 If you change msDS-LogonTimeSyncInterval, be careful or you'll be pushing a ton of changes around the domain. We intentionally don't replicate this thing every time a user logs on with default settings. ~Eric -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 2:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Tracking the machine from which user logs in Mukul, The only way you're going to get that information is from the event log. Of course, there's some filtering you'll want to do as well. Here's a good article on the process: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/maintain/mo nitor/logonoff.mspx -m -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mukul Joshi Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 2:55 AM To: ADList Subject: [ActiveDir] Tracking the machine from which user logs in Hi, I am writing an application that would track the login logoff activities of users. I can get lastlogin and lastlogoff information from AD, but I also need to know the machine/IP on which that particular login/logoff happened. How do I get this information?
