Logon alert

[Guest]

Is there a way to get an administrative alert / message when a specific user is logging on?

Hi !

If you're using logonscripts it's fairly easy:

put the following line to your user-logonscript:
net send [pc-xyz|user-xyz]%username%has
logged on

if you do not use user-specific logonscripts but a system-wide logonscript it takes some additional efforts:

put a file with the usernames you want to be alerted on in a line into the netlogon-(sub)dir

add something like the following lines to your logonscript:
findstr /i %username% file-with-username
if errorlevel nnn net send %username% has
logged on

We use scripts like that heavily with WinNT - please check for correct syntax (it's just "meta-code" to give you an idea)

Re: Logon alert

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

It was just a single user on wich I wanted to have a reminder, so if there was a simple way, but maybe your idea can be used to make a setup for another time.
