Active Directory User Login Tracking and Management

ADManager Plus simplifies the herculean task of tracking, monitoring and consolidating Active Directory users' logon specific data through its pre-defined user logon reports. Active Directory user logon specific information like logon times, logon history, login attempts, computers or workstations from which users login, users' last login time, etc., is very crucial for securing your Active Directory. These information also help in satisfying the mandatory IT standards and compliance requirements. Trying to fetch all these AD user logon reports using the native tools, PowerShell, etc. will only add to the list of complexities.

In addition to logon specific reports, this web-based tool has over 200 pre-packaged reports to fetch all the required information about every aspect of your Active Directory, Office 365, and Exchange Server environments.

Active Directory User Logon Reports

At just a click of the mouse, ADManager Plus fetches vital Active Directory users' logon specific information like:

Real Last Logon Time and AD Users Who Logged In Recently

Using the Real Last Logon report, you can fetch the exact time of the last real login time of all the users in the entire domain or the specified OUs or groups. This report will fetch the list of all the users who had logged in during the specified time frame along with those users' last logon time.

Active Directory Users Logon - Logoff Management

Logon (and logoff) management of Active Directory users are vital to ensure the optimal usage of all the resources in your Active Directory. It is not possible to perform either effective login management or check the logon and logoff times of users unless you have vital information like detailed login history, or complete user login record including all their login times (Windows Login, Exchange Login, etc.).

An easy and effective way to manage the user logons and also ensure the security of your Active Directory resources is to restrict the logon and access of users to your Active Directory and its resources. Below are some of the easiest and most frequently employed methods of restricting user logins:

Computer or machine specific logon restriction

ADManager Plus allows you to specify the computers from which users can login into your Active Directory, during the user creation process. Using this tool's 'all-inclusive' user creation templates, you can create user accounts and also configure the login restriction as well as all the necessary attributes for them, in just a single step. You can also set a computer-specific logon restriction for existing user accounts using this software's bulk user modification features.

Logon hours based user login restriction

This allows you to restrict the time during which your Active Directory users can login to your domain. When this attribute is configured, users will not be able to login at any other times besides the hours that you have specified.

You can manage the logon hours of users or deny logon during specific hours based on the information from the logon hours-based report that provides you with the complete list of users who are either allowed or denied logon during specific times of the day.

Thus, ManageEngine's ADManager Plus serves as a powerful tool to track AD users' logon/logoff information and managing their logon hours.
