hey all,

I'm trying to find out when the last time was that some of my users logged onto the network. I've looked around in Active Directory Users And Computers but I can't find anything there. I've done some searches on Google but I get a bunch of tips on how to prevent the last user's name from being displayed at the login window. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Joe Brouillette
 
You want to look at the event viewer on your domain controllers. Look at the Security logs on these systems.

Hmmmm... Sounds like it's a little more labor intensive than I thought it would be. I'd have to enable auditing of successful logon attempts wouldn't I? I'm not sure that's an option.

Thanks,

JBruyet,

Open a command prompt and type:

net user %username% /domain

Just subsitute the %username% with the real username..

This will give you all sorts of info about the user including last logon time...
