You'll have to monitor all the DCs that could authenticate the user and look out for Logon events in the Security Log. MOM 2005 is great at doing this.
-----Original Message----- From: Rocky Habeeb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 Nov 2005 14:35 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Proving a User is logged on to the domain Gentlemen, Is there a preferred and/or easy way to prove that a User has logged on to the Domain and is currently operating (ie: able to access resources)? The question is not whether he can get to a resource or not, but only that he has successfully logged in to a domain from some computer and is considered live on the Domain? I have not been able to figure that out yet. By the way, Happy Thanksgiving to all this day!! Thanks. RH _____________________________ Rocky Habeeb Microsoft Systems Administrator James W.
