Showing Logged On Users

[Gongalong]

Hi folks,

 

Does an app exist that shows users that have made a logon request of a DC (and the PC they've logged on from)? Something that then removes them if they logoff as well.

 

I'm thinking of something with a nice clear interface, with the objective of knowing if there are any users logged into a domain or not.

 

RM's Ranger does this, but I miss it on our other "normal" domain.

 

Not finding anything with Google.

 

TIA

Impero does this and lots more besides. However, if you want it just for the users logging on/off it would be an expensive way to go.

A Google search for "powershell domain controller event log" gives this as the first result:

 

Hey, Scripting Guy! How Can I Query Event Logs to Discover Active Directory Information? - Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs

 

It should be simple enough to turn that into something that gets a list of currently logged-in users and turn that in to an HTML file.

I have a logon and logoff script that logs

 

Date, Time, PCName, username, LogonServer, into a text file and updates each time the user account is logged on/off.

 

have 2 folders, one which logs by computer name, the othey by username, so can cross reference who has logged on to a computer or if a user has been used more than once.

I would also like this, we use Ranger but I want to get rid of it. The 'only' useful feature I find from Ranger is the list of who is logged in at any point in time.

I used to get logged on user information through a VNC program, however it wasn't very reliable as if a user had locked the computer, or used switch user (and was on the ctrl, alt, delete screen) - it would still show the logged on user in the background.
