Tracking user logoffs

[NetworkAdmin123]

I need help trying to figure out the best way to track whether a user is logging off at night or not.

I've tried a login script that writes the time when they login to a text file but this is very confusing and hard to sort through.

We use GFI LanGuard for event log tracking and I tried that route with using event id's for os shutdown and startup.

That doesnt work as some systems miss days and others don't.

Has anyone perfected a way to do this with some organization.

Thx

You could use a script as a Logoff Script. Have it post to an access database or simply append to a text file.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Have you tried the security tab in the event viewer. It might be a bit tedious, but you could search for the user name and find the logoff/logon time as long as security logging is on.
