Use-case 32: How To Monitor Employee Login On A Daily Basis In Your Active Directory.

Monitoring logon activity is a great way to gauge productivity of an employee. By this we can also monitor attendance, ensure logon takes place in authorized business hours, etc. 

Active Directory stores logon timestamps on lastLogon and lastLogonTimestamp attrbutes. The difference between the two attributes are, 

lastLogon attribute stores the last time the user logged on to the domain through that specific domain controller. This is non replicating attribute.

lastLogonTimestamp attribute replicates based on the last lastlogontimestamp and current value, if the current value is greater. 

ADManager Plus provides scheduled reports based on lastLogon and lastLogonTimestamp from all DCs configured in the tool, on a daily basis.

Step 1: Kindly go to AD Reports --> User Reports --> Recently Logged On Users.

Choose the Domain and Time Period. Click on Generate.









Step 2:  If you would like to schedule the report, click on Schedule Reports --> Create Schedule

Kindly choose the Domain and Select Report. 

Choose the time you would like to receive the report, format and the email address to which it has to be sent.
