Re: User Accounts for XP home.

Maybe I wasnt clear enough. I want to be able to see individual logon user accounts. such as "# 5:logon 2:30pm, # 22:logon 3:45am, # 1, ect... I imagine I would need some kind of special software to do this I just dont if I do. And if I do, what kind.


Thanks

You may need some hardware firewall like sonicwall or a proxy server to monitor these traffic.

Re: User Accounts for XP home.

Yes. I didn't read his second post properly. If he is only concern with the logon and logoff, auditing via policies will be sufficient.
