Hi,

how can I find out when people logged onto their NT workstations and then logged off - remotely if possible.

I have used MS Access and the user clicks a button to register their logon time on a central database. Trouble is not all user's pc's have access as licenses are expensive


ANY help appreciated ! Please note I'm not network admin so can't get access to any extra NT features which is why I used a few choice VB commands in Access to read the NT username etc.

thanks, jai

logon time add something into the script to append %username% and time to a file..

time /t >>\\server\share\log.txt

logoff then remove shutdown button and replace with scripts..


Simpleway???

Enable auditing on the DC tracking user logon / loggoff..

Oops forgot your not admin..

YOU CANT!

Hi !

thanks for the scripting idea David.

Can I create a script using a batch file ? If not, how can this be done ? All I need do then is get users to run the batch file manually at logon and then again for logging off.

thanks !

Jai

@echo off

FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%i in ('DATE /T') do set fdate=%%k_%%j_%%i
FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=:. " %%t in ('TIME /T') do set ftime=%%t%%u
echo %fdate% %ftime% %username% >>file.txt

you don't need them to run it manually. Put the script in the logon script. It will run automatically when they login and cannot be altered by a user

I said that in my other post, but he doesnt have admin rights, so ammending audit policies is out..
