logon ("crtl + alt + del") and logoff?

Thanks for all your help.

You could set a logon/logoff batch file in your group
policy:
Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Group Policy /
User Configuration / Windows Settings / Scripts (Logon/Logoff)

It micht look like these two lines:
@echo off
echo %date% %time:~0,5% %ComputerName% %UserName% >>
\\YourServer\Logs\logon.txt

and the same for the logoff process. This works fine for
small numbers of users but needs to be improved for
larger numbers because of sharing conflicts arising when
two users log on at the same time.

We do our domain client statistics on user activity with help of reporting
function within Scriptlogic's Desktop Authority (
http://www.scriptlogic.com/da). We set it to automatically collect activity
data into SQL database. Then we scheduled it to create reports detailing on
how the concrete user uses his/her machine. Collected stats contain user name,
computer he used, logon server that authenticated him, user priviledges he
has locally or within the domain. Thus I see that user MikeMkf with User
priviledges has logged on from machine MikeMkf-I at 09:07 AM, locked it
several times during the work day and then logged off at the end of the day.
I also can create bar graph that plots top user that were active and inactive
during the period I've specified.
