If you check out the Last login Date on all DC's you will get the correct answer. Alternatively, assuming you expire passwords on all accounts, you can check the age of passwords to get an approximate value.

If it's older than a particular date, it's probably not being used... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Creamer, Mark Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 2:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] getting a user login count I need to true up my licenses for a product we use that is based on the number of users who regularly log in. IOW, if the account exists in AD to store HR info or whatever, but isn't actively used by anyone, it doesn't get counted. Can someone think of a good way to arrive at a number that would be close to accurate? We're at Win2K, so I don't think I can use dsquery user -inactive to find the inactive users that I could subtract from the total. But should I just query each DC for login records and consolidate the data? Or is there a better way? Also, is there a way to query how many are logged on *right now*?
