Login Trace of Server 2008 System
Hello again, Since auditing is enabled by default on DCs, this can be done by performing searches in Security logs. For scripting questions, I would recommend asking them here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/scripting You can also try this script: echo %username% ; %date% ; %time% ; %computername % >> \\Server\Share\Login.csv Where "Server" is a server holding a share named "Share". This script can be used in a Batch file which will be used as a logon script by the use of group policies. At the end, you will have a CSV file named "Login.csv" which lists each made successful logon. Use Excel to open it.
