Re: login/logoff Report

When the clients login or out the logon.log file does not register any
entries (blank). I access the server via RWW and am not sure whether this
type of login will register on the server. Could there be a problem with the
active directory setup?

Do you mean that the log only shows entries for the workstations, not the
SBS server?

On the SBS server, my logon.cmd contains:

echo logon %username% %computername% %date% %time% >>
\\<servername>\share\logon.log

The share has permissions... domain users: read-write, domain admins: Full

See attachment.

I can only get this to work on my PC and not the server. My logon.cmd file
contains "echo logon %username% %computername% %date% %time% >>
C:\sbs\share\logon.log".
Must some kind of scripting be turned on on the server to get this to
work?

Everything is done on the SBS server only. When any device logs into/off
of
the domain (the domain controller - the SBS server), the logon/logoff
info
is recorded.

The only issue I've seen in the log is when an RWW session (i.e., RDP to
a
LAN workstation) is allowed to time out. This leaves the RDP session
still
running on the workstation. The log will show that the user has not
logged
off the workstation but if another user tries to RDP to that same
workstation, they will be informed that the workstation is locked. This
really isn't a problem with the logging procedure, just a pain to
decipher
at times.

Must the two files with the cmd extention be applied to each PC on the
network or only on the server?

I need to monitor user login/logoff on SBS2003. How do I explicitly
set
this
up and get a report ?
