Retrieve a list of online users on a domain
-
Hey! I really would like to know if anyone had an idea on how to see who's logged on the domain. I've thought of using a userlist from the ADSI and compare that to the logon/logoff events in the eventlog. But that isn't the smartest way.. So what i want to know, is there anyone out there who knows a relative simple method to see who's online or not? All answers will be appreciated!! Thanks in advance mwinther

You would have to check with each server in the domain, seperately , to get the list of users who have attachments to that box. AD, nor any other directory service I know of, keeps track of who is logged on in the directory. For several reasons, there is no way to keep that kind of information accurate. I think the closest your going to get to that kind of information, in the directory, is looking at the last known login time for each user.
