Dwayne,
For the logging on/off of users I would try something like this when the
user logs on:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colComputer = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each objComputer in colComputer
Const EVENT_SUCCESS = 0
Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.LogEvent EVENT_SUCCESS, _
   "Logged on: " & objComputer.UserName
Next

*the source will show up as WSH

as far as logging when the computer boots or shutdown you could easily make
something like this a service, or use group policy editor to mention some
options.

Regards,

Sean Gahan
