Monitor Single user login to Active Directory 1

[teqmod]

We have a single user account in Active Directory that MGMT would like to know if/when it is logged in. This is an elevated user account and is not supposed to be in use by any users. Does anyone know a way to monitor this in Active Directory?

you can use an LDAP query to poll all of your DC's to find out this information as well as turning on logging for your DC's for success and failure logins. The search for that account from any DC

This is also a cool tool:

Although it can't tell you which DC they get authenticated to.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking on this and just looking for an easy way to do it. Simple login script for the user in question that writes to a text file worked for me.
