    This information is not tracked in Active Directory or the logs. Even if you
    turned on auditing you would have a lot of work analyzing log files to get
    this information.

    However, you can use logon and logoff scripts to track information. I have
    an example VBScript logon script that writes user name, computer name,
    date/time, and IP address to a log file linked here:

    You can have a similar logoff script (configured in Group Policy) write
    date/times of logoff. Then you can load a copy of the log file into a
    spreadsheet program for analysis. One line is appended to the shared log
    file for each logon and logoff. In Excel you can filter on users or
    computers.
