Title: Message Hello Andrew, no, that's not able to extract in AD. The most popular solution for that request is to log that to a central file or database within the logon-script. Gruesse - Sincerely, Ulf B. Simon-Weidner From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Caple, AndrewSent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 7:07 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [ActiveDir] Users and Computers Good afternoon everyone, Is it possible to extract: which user logged onto what computer through Active Directory? As both get authenticated at some point I assume that the records must be stored somewhere? Thanks, Andrew
RE: [ActiveDir] Users and Computers
While I can't get this information from Active Directory, it is possible to get this information from the domain controllers. You can look through your security logs on the domain controllers for event 540. This event will give you the user who logged on and also the ip address of the machine they logged in from. If you are using DHCP, you will have to look at your DHCP server logs to determine which hardware address was assigned to that ip address. (Luckily we reserve most of our DHCP addresses.)

RE: [ActiveDir] Users and Computers error
Title: Message I would start by checking the IP stack configuration (DNS, WINS, etc.) on the workstation and also reviewing the event logs to determine if there are any differences. You might find that either you have a name resolution problem or that the secure channel between the workstation and domain is at fault. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Caple, Andrew Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 4:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Users and Computers error We have 4 people working on the Support Centre and the error below came up on only one of the computers. All users have the same permissions and they have been using the same computer for the past 5 months without any problems. Apparently the user was able to get in at one stage however he closed the mmc and then tried to get back in - then the error came up. "Naming Information cannot be located because: No authority could be contacted for authentication. Contact your system administrator to verify that you domain is properly configured and is currently online" I've had a look on the MS knowledge base and found article 322342 and 329887 but this seems to suggest that you may get this error just after install or setup of the mmc. Has anyone come across this error before? Thanks for your help - and have a great weekend!!!
