+1. Hoping someone would mention that so I didn't have to. Well put.
Might as well just give them timecards. That aside, LogMeIn Free gives some quick and easy numbers for when the PC was turned on, if they are logged in, and how long their mouse/keyboard has been idle for. We've used from time to time just to see if someone is available/online. (We make our own hours here).

Seems to me if there are expectations set and not being met then no need to monitor folks. "Do this and this, get it done by N with X standards of quality". Can't meet the deadline? Remedy that. If they're able to meet all goals and it seems like there's a lot of leftover time, add tasks/goals. I'm no manager but I am at my desk well before my assigned time, regularly leave after my assigned time, and do far more work from home than has ever been asked, and I still dislike the sound of VP's trying to micromanage manager's time (which really, that's what this is). </Editorial> What about if they stay logged in and just WINDOWSKEY+L their machine? You'll get no logout time.

If yes: www.joeware.net oldcmp.exe -users -report -llts -age 0 -format csv -file "users.txt" If no: Please clarify, but you will likely want an event log monitoring/logging solution. If you have multiple DC's the solution will need to be able to aggregate the results from them.
