    Monitoring Network connections

    Hello,

    My problem is who is connected such date and time on my server.

    In the event viewer, under "Security", I have an entry type of logon and logoff another type with a session ID that I imagine one.
    But I did not necessarily feel like crazy typing thousands of lines to record the beginning & end to ultimately have the sessions are still active at the time that interests me .

    I imagine that such a tool / script must exist?

    Re: Monitoring Network connections

    hi.

    you can try this script

    Code:
    LastLogon.vbs
    ' VBScript program to determine when each user in the domain last logged
    ' on.

    ' array. Then, for each Domain Controller, ADO is used to search the
    ' copy of Active Directory on that Domain Controller for all user
    ' objects and return the lastLogon attribute. The lastLogon attribute is
    ' a 64-bit number representing the number of 100 nanosecond intervals
    ' since 12:00 am January 1, 1601. This value is converted to a date. The
    ' last logon date is in UTC (Coordinated Univeral Time). It must be
    ' adjusted by the Time Zone bias in the machine registry to convert to
    ' local time.
