Re: User logging

Thanks Lanwench.

Logins and file access would do just fine. Only worried about the lengthy
logs you mentioned. I hope there are ways to search for a name or folder
name.

Am also checking out a freeware i downloaded for this.

My concern is not illegal by the law. My suspicion is User A is accessing
User B account when User B has left office. And also manipulating data even
from own area in secrecy. Illegal by norms of the office.

Thanks for teh help.

Hi,

Is there a way i could see a log of which user logged on when in the
PC?

Does every user have his/her own login, with a password nobody else knows,
and are these accounts members of the local Users group only?
Do users log themselves out of the computer when done with their work?
Does the computer's built-in Administrator account have a password only
you know?

If the above are true, you can enable auditing to see some of what you
wish, but even that may not give you sufficientinformation.

Plus even better if i could see what programs were run by that
user.

Nope.

Do we have such logging facility in XP?

Not for anything besides logins and specific file access if you wish to
enable that (and look through the lengthy logs).

Or could someone
recommend any third party software which could do this?

You might look at some of the "net nanny" programs or keyloggers.

Purpose is to monitor my staff using the office PC. I suspect some
misuse is happening out of office hours.

Thanks for any help.
Ramesh

Hope this helps. However, I must add that if it's after office hours, and
the "misuse" doesn't involve anything illegal, it seems odd to me that
you'd be bothered about this.
