MS Audit Collection Services, which should be out of beta soon, is also great for this sort of thing.

You could automate it by counting the users in the same manner I described, and then iterating through what's left discounting the service accounts if you wanted. You could also use the dsquery tools to do this because it's likely you don't need precision in this case but rather a rough estimate. Using dsquery you can get the information pretty quickly and then you just need to count the objects it returns. Al _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Cothern Jeff D.

I just got the question of how many users logged into the network in the last 60 days. If I can have this in an automated way were they can pull up the infromation easily it would be great. I think they are wanting it for metrics.

Are you trying to automate user management? Can you give some more details about what you want and what you want to do with the data? That might help to spur some better information. Basically, you can use lastlogontimestamp (dsquery makes it pretty easy if you want to use that) to find out about when the last time a user logged on assuming they triggered an update to this. Some actions don't trigger this update so a second data point is a useful thing to have to narrow it down even more. pwdLastSet is a useful data point IIRC.
