I'm not a expert but couldn't you script something to run everytime (HKLM...Run or throught LoginScripts) a user logged into a machine to output the username and machine to a SQL DB or the like...just an idea. Not sure how big your org is but even a text file something like echo %username% >> \\UNCPATHTOASERVER\\logininfo.txt hostname >> \\UNCPATHTOASERVER\\logininfo.txt This is pretty basic but you get the idea Ryan On 1/19/06, Nick Duda <nduda () vistaprint com> wrote:
To continue this topic, I'm faced with the same thing.... The problem is that with all these event id's 672, 673, 540...etc there is still no positive way to say , when a user logged on (via cntrl,alt delete) and logged off, as in shutdown or log off. My goal, is to use syslog or some other form of monitoring to keep records of each employees logon/logoff of a PC physically on the network. I've been knee deep into all these event id's and nothing is accurate. Please help. -----Original Message----- From: List Spam [mailto:listspam () gmail com] Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 10:08 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Windows Log There are many types of logins that can be performed in an an AD environment. Among these are full desktop logins by a user (aka interactive login), non-interactive network logins (e.g. mount a share), computer accounts authenticating to the domain, etc. I would venture a guess that you don't want to disallow the ability to log other security events, but want to easily find login events of some type (see above) without having to wade through the full set of logged data. If this is the case, you could simply filter the logs to show the event id that is specific to the action you are looking to see. You could use the built-in "Event Viewer" application for it, EventCombMT (Google it), one of the resource kit log dumping utilitities, VBScripts, or just about anything else to export this info. Some VBScript examples are below: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/logs/eventlog/defaultmspx I dare say that if you're trying to audit security on a box, you don't want to hack up the data collection facility, but want to simply get better use from that data.

I know that there are a whole class of logon/logoff events, but I´d like to log only when a user logon into a machine in the domain. Hope I was clear... thx -- Rodrigo M. T.
