Not sure if this is what you are asking but I track logons with a logon script
that writes to a csv file on a server share. You could modify it a bit and add
a second script to track logoffs. It is the only thing I have found to be
reliable. Then I have a scheduled task each night to rename 'log.csv' to
today's date and recreate a new 'log.csv' for the next day. It gives me
computername, username, ip and time. WARNING, very bad things happen if the
server share becomes unavailable using my system. I would suggest using a
couple of server shares and dfs them for fail over.
strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName
Set objWMIService = GetObject( _
"winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set IPConfigSet = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select IPAddress from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration ")
For Each IPConfig in IPConfigSet
If Not IsNull(IPConfig.IPAddress) Then
For i=LBound(IPConfig.IPAddress) _
to UBound(IPConfig.IPAddress)
strIPAddress = strIPAddress & "," & IpConfig.IpAddress(i)
Next
End If
Next
strInfo = objNetwork.ComputerName & "," & objNetwork.UserName & "," & Date() &
"," & Time() & "," & StrIPAddress
SET objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
SET objOutputFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("\\SERVER\Logs\log.csv", ForAppend,
False)
objOutputfile.writeline strInfo
objFSO.Close

Subject: Offline/online detection
What's the best way to detect whether a user is offline or online (I.e.
Connected to the corporate network)? I thought maybe query the %logonserver%
variable but that might also apply to online situations where a DC cannot be
contacted for whatever reason. I'm sure there must be a way, wondering if
anyone has any ideas they can throw out?
TIA,
JR
