Are you just looking for logon/logoff times? I think you can put something in the logon/logoff scripts that will do that. Logon tracking: @echo off echo %USERNAME% Logon >> \\server\hiddenshare\%USERNAME%.log & date /t >> \\server\hiddenshare\%USERNAME%.log & time /t >> \\server\hiddenshare\%USERNAME%.log Logoff tracking: @echo off echo %USERNAME% Logoff >> \\server\hiddenshare\%USERNAME%.log & date /t >> \\server\hiddenshare\%USERNAME%.log & time /t >> \\server\hiddenshare\%USERNAME%.log I'm not using logoff scripts, but I googled "NT +"logoff scripts"" and came up with a bunch of promising links. They point to either Policy settings or GINA to enable/control logon/logoff settings.
