Reading logon/logoff datetimeHi.
I need to write a service that writes to a database the time of the logon and logoff of the users. Our users logs on Active Directory and some can also log as local administrators. The majority of the workstations are Windows 2000 and some are Windows XP. I am reading about WMI but have found some limitations when reading the WMI structures, mainly with Windows 2000. What is the best way to read logon/logoff information in this scenario? Thanks, Robert Scheer if you use .NET 2.0, you can use the Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents class and
register (and don't forget to unregister, because it's a static event) it's SessionSwitch event. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.win32.systemevents.sessionswitch.aspx I hope it helps ThunderMusic Show quoteHide quote "Robert Scheer" <rbsch***@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:1158672054.562099.232250@b28g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > Hi. > > I need to write a service that writes to a database the time of the > logon and logoff of the users.

The best way is to set up the domain accounts to cause an audit event on logon/logoff. This would write an entry to the NT Event Log whenever someone logs on or off. -Boo Show quoteHide quote > Hi. > > I need to write a service that writes to a database the time of the > logon and logoff of the users.
