Re: Monitoring users

You can enable auditing of account logon events in the Domain Controller
Security Policy [which it should be by default] to see an account logon
events that shows when a user logs onto the domain and on which domain
computer. However to accurately see when a user logs on and off of their
workstation you will need to check the security logs of the domain
workstations for type 1 interactive logon events. To logoff a user from
their local workstation [not just domain network resources] you would need
to implement a logoff screen saver such as Winexit.scr from the RK or create
a scheduled task that does such [PsSuhtDown from SysInternals often works
best for that]. Schtasks can configure Scheduled Tasks via the command line
for XP Pro and W2003 computers. --- Steve

Windows server 2003
Windows XP for the workstations

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a program that was built into 2003 where I
can monitor when users log on and off of their workstations? Also, is
there a way I can set it up to have the users workstation log off
automatically (after a certain amount of time when not in use) and have
that logged as well?

Thanks for any help.
