Reporting on user's log in/out times in Active Directory without using the event log
Hello everyone, a department manager I work with is asking for a way to report on selected users for when they log in/out of the network (Active Directory) and the only way I know of is in the event logs and depending on what domain controller they authenticate on it's then logged into that event log on that server. Does anyone know if Microsoft has a more efficent way to see this data or maybe a 3rd party product for this?
event logs like you said can track it but consolidating and searching them can be a pain depending on how many DCs you have.
Thanks

I forgot to mention in case it's not obvious; my code is in vbscript (.vbs).

Thank you so much! I'm going to try this out now, I've never used a logoff script but will figure that out in AD. I'll come back soon and accept the solution! ;)
