Re: Log File!

If you do not see how to design it then perhaps you best alternative
is to hunt for a purchasable third-party application, if any available,
that does this.
Were I writing it I would use WMI eventing to subscribe to the
desired logon and logoff events from the event logging provider.
I would design it to start as a service on each DC, and for them
to exist in a peered but also tiered master-server relationship so
that all events from all DCs would be taken into account. There
would be no reading of the event log(s), just a tracking of each
principal that is active. Your issue would be that it is not always
as simple as the first logoff following the initial login that is
significant. Consider the sequence login, login, logoff, login,
logoff, etc. for a single principal (which is still logged on).
