Hello to all,
recently my boss said that he wants to know when my colleagues come to
work,
so i wrote a script which reads from event logs and scans for specific
event
codes but i am not able to display security event log with the following
statement:

Select Logfile,Message,EventCode from Win32_NTLogEvent Where
LogFile='Security'

if i put 'Application' or 'System' in LogFile everything is ok but
'Security' doesnt return values. Does anyone knows what i am doing wrong,
or
if it is impossible to display security logs how to get when a user logs
in
the domain?

A few issues come to mind:...

In some places this would be considered an invasion of privacy. Sure the
network belongs to the company - but so do the washrooms.

If the boss wants to know what is going on in the shop, then he should be
there. And you can tell him I said so.

Will you code your script so it always indicates that you are there?

Will someone figure out how to fake out your script using scheduled tasks?
