How to capture user Log in and Log out timings in xls or word doc on a Win2k DOmaino
Hi All,
I have a Windows 2000 Server which is configured as a AD Domain Server.
In this domain I have got some groups of users who log in to the domain from a Win2k Pro desktop.
Now I want to capture log in and log out timings along with the date of a particular group of users in to a xls or doc format. How should I go about it. It should get appended in to the xls or doc file. My main aim is to find out and improve my process so that I know who works for what time and when,
Thanks & Regards

That will automatically store the info in a txt file.
You could use excel or maybe even access to import the data and to format it to your likings. ( I am not that strong with excel)
Hope this helps

If I place it as a batch file in users startup directory they will be able to remove it, which I dont want. Also if we store it centrally using the same batch file they will also need access to that share.
How do I automate it for 8 users only to login the timings into a xls file and keep it centrally without them being able to access the share. How to add this script through their login script. Do I just create 8 different batch files attach them into their login scripts.

The only thing I can think of is using logon and off scripts that will append the data you want to a file.
I found this sample posted by PeteLong and Spiderfix
==========================
Add this to the login script, or place it as a batch file in the users startup directory
::Begin
date/t>>filename.txt
echo %computername%>>filename.t
echo %ClientName% >> Filename.txt
echo %username%>>filename.txt
::End
you can change the path to filename.txt to server share to hold the info centrally
