alfatec Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Hi, What are people using to see who is logged in to the workstations on their domains. Just interested when we go to a vanilla domain setup.
eyetea Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Hi, What are people using to see who is logged in to the workstations on their domains. Just interested when we go to a vanilla domain setup. On the DC: Computer Management > Shared Folders > Open Sessions lets me know (I think!)
6Foot2 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Are you planning to deploy any classroom management software on your new vanilla network? We use Impero although other packages will also do what you are looking for here.
alfatec Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 We use PDQ deploy for deploying software. Very good. What I am after is a piece of software that shows who is currently logged on to the network so that when I shutdown at the end of the day I don't shutdown logged on users.

How will you know if they're actually active users? Most of the "sinners" I know just walk away leaving their machines logged on and usually unlocked. 1
Norphy Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 It's not free or even particularly cheap but Userlock will do what you want. It is an excellent piece of software, well worth the money in my opinion http://www.isdecisions.com/products/userlock/
Asgard Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 We have a bit of code that runs on login and puts a text file in a file share : we approach this for two reasons 1. Students can't login to more than one workstation at at time (te file is deleted on logout) 2. We can see if they are logged in We also log their login activity to a SQL database as part of the same process so we can report if ever asked "was johnny logged in as he didn't turn up for lesson " Happy to share the code if you like
FN-GM Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Maybe you could try this? - Script to Record Computer Usage - Blogs - EduGeek.net 2
bashy Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 http://support.adminarsenal.com/entries/22558781-Scheduled-deployment-Wake-on-Lan-and-Shutdown-after-deployment This should work with pdq deploy
themightymrp Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 We run a similar scripting method to FN-GM's above but ours are written in VB as opposed to .BAT Still provides the same data though
