Login script for terminal server

[ShuckyD]

I am trying to get a login script to write to a file of the users that log into a specific server I have setup as a terminal server. That server is running Microsoft Server 2003 and all I want to do is log time spent on the server. This server will be setup for several different users and I want to be able to log time at the end of the week.

Writing to a file to .csv or just a text file is fine all that I need to do is be able to have it append to a file, or either create a new one for each day with the username time in, out, etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction since I dont know where to start on this?

could do it in several ways
for me, I'd probably write up some cheesy batch file or vbs script to log to the file and put it in a login script/logout script.
You could put the script in the local policies of the server

Where would I go to do that thoguh? I know where the local policies section is on the server but how would I go about doing a script to log user's (without having to sift through the event log)?

REALLY cheesy but simple you could just put in a batch file

echo %USERNAME% %DATE% %TIME% LOGON >> log.txt

you'll get this in your log.txt file
vass0922 Thu 03/05/2009 22:10:55.72 LOGON

Then for the logoff script
echo %USERNAME% %DATE% %TIME% LOGOFF >> log.txt

Its a bit manual though, seeing as you'd have two lines.
If you were good at batch files you could put logon time into %username%.txt file then when it came time to append the real log.txt just take the logon value out of %username%.txt file to put both values on one line.. seeing as you now know logoff time because its now

We'll I know there's an area in the local security policy for login and logoff, couldnt I just call a .vbs file or something that would export to my C: Drive if I found one so its not so manual?
