We do a lot of logon scripting. In some cases we have the script send an email to specified addresses when certain logins occur, in addition to the log files we always record to. Sample code available on request.
Logoff scripting could also be done, with the caveat that if the system shuts down abruptly (crash, etc.), the script won't run. /kenw From: Devin Meade [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: February-08-08 9:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT: software to monitor users login and logoff Just remember it's not a secure solution. The user must be able to edit this file. On Feb 8, 2008 10:22 AM, Thomas Gonzalez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks Devin, I'll take a look at that.

Has anyone used an application that would perform the following task: 1. User logs into network 2. One centralized workstation records and informs you when they login and logoff, with a GUI? I'm googling and see some cool stuff, but it's not what the CIO is requesting. I appreciate your responses.
