Active Directory - "Last Login"

[beammie]

We are using Active Directory (one Domain) on our Windows 2000 server. Getting more and more secure with login's we would love to have something using Active Directory that tells us the date each user last logged into our system.

We could do this when we were using Novell but haven't been able to figure out how to do it on Windows 2000 server AD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

You can create a gpo to audit logon events

Thank you so much! This sure is going to help us. Working in a non-profit we have many volunteer logins and it is very hard to keep up with who is still here using their logins. This way we will be able to monitor logins usage and remove any that are not being used.

Thanks again!

If you're only checking one server, GFI offers a free versoin of their SELM software that I think you should look into. You can download the trial version and they'll email you a code you can enter to activate it for one server and I think five workstations without cost. We use it and it's really nice:
