John, NT does not maintain central database of logon/off events. Each event
is tracked by the domain controller that handles it but that information is
not pulled together in anyone place. This may be handled differently by
Win2k.Active Directory. You'd have to check all domain controllers in order
to find the real status and that will be tainted because the user could have
disconnected their laptop while logged in and have never notified a Dc that
they logged off
I suspect this function was designed for a single workstation/server where
the status of a user is a little better defined that it is from the domain
level.

Subject: win32::netadmin::loggedonusers
Hi,
I was wonder if anyone was familiar with
win32::netadmin::loggedonusers.
When I run this at night, the function
tells me that the user is still logged on
but he isn't. Can anyone tell me why?
Here's a snippet of my code that
I'm running:
Win32::NetAdmin::LoggedOnUsers($Machines, \%users);
if ( my ($user, $info) = ( sort each %users ) ) {
($u, $domain, $logon_server) = split(/;/, $info);
if ($u !~ /\$/i) {
write(LOGGEDONUSERS);
}
}
else {
}
please advise,
John
