Re: Log report on clients

A different solution than using Windows Auditing would be to use a
quick logon script that would write a small note in your event viewer
(application node) the username, clientname, servername date and time
of logoff and logon:

Set sho = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
set sysi = createobject("ADSystemInfo")
strUser=sysi.UserName
set objUser=GetObject("LDAP://"; & strUser)
sClientName = sho.ExpandEnvironmentStrings ("%ClientName%")
sho.LogEvent 4,"User " & objUser.samaccountName & " has logged on at "
& now & " from Terminal " & sClientName

The above script could also track reconnections and disconnections
using ReconnAct from http://www.loginconsultants.nl, very nice little
tool (be careful though because if your AD is configured to run logon
script synchronously you'll need to find a different way to fire it).
