Last logon is kept in the registry on the local machine, unless your
policies prevent that being kept, as DefaultUserName. Take a look @
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultUserName.
You could write it to a log as part of the login script, along with current
time and computer name, or you could poll it via script @ intervals using a
txt file with the names of the systems you want to monitor. Hope this helps!

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP Display Name for User logged into computer


You can't do that, per se. AD doesn't track who logged in where. You'd have
to turn on logon auditing and scrape the DC logs to pull that off.

Alternately, there *might* be something you can poll per machine via WMI,
but I don't think so.
