Domain User Access Log

Hi,
How to monitor following logs for Domain user in widows 2008 R2 server,
1) User creation
2) User Deletion
3) login log
4) logout  log

As others mentioned, enabling auditing should do the job. The events will be logged in event viewer and all you need will to use a filter to get them.
Collecting the events could be a complicated task if you do it manually. There are third party tools to make that easier or you can also use
EventCombMT to collect them: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824209
Another way to track logon/logoff of end users is to use a Group Policy to do that on Windows Servers / Computers. I have published the details here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20422.record-logon-logoff-activities-on-domain-servers-and-workstations-using-group-policy.aspx

  • DC on VM Restored after crash - Does Not allow PCs to Join Domain, or Domain Users to Log in

    We currently had a RAID array crash and rebuilt our main server which housed VMs for our Web and DC.
    The main server was restored from a bare-metal backup from 6 months prior to the latest backup of the VMs (not sure if pertinent)
    Since the Restore, Domain computers cannot access file shares on the main server or VMs - "unspecified network error
    0x80004005
    Removed the main server from the Domain to re-join it due to some issues with logging in (even with a Domain Admin account) - Found that any PC removed from the domain was no longer able
    to rejoin - Receive (Network path was not found error)
    Domain Users cannot log in to their computers - Error reads "The trust relationship between this computer and the domain has been lost" - Domain Admin accounts can log in without
    problem.

     Please help

    The backup you used is too old. That is why your clients are experiencing trust relationship failures: the computer passwords are no longer matching so they are failing to connect to AD. You need to disjoin and join them again.
    I understand that this is the only DC you have so please make sure that the DC is not multihomed, that it points to its private IP address as primary DNS server and 127.0.0.1 as secondary one. Also, you might need to rebuild your SYSVOL folder if you keep
    getting the SYSVOL errors: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/315457?wa=wsignin1.0

  • Non Domain User Access to Report Server

    HI Team,
    I am Back with another question. These days i am working on SSRS web services as a part of that i need to provide user access to non domain users to the report manager which is residing in a virtual machine and also when i use the report service web service
    URL it is asking for virtual machine's windows credentials and as per my client's requirement i should not be prompted with VM'S windows credentials.
    Also, we are providing end users with a login page and this login page is connected to a separate User's database  in the VM and how to register these non domain users in the report server database
    and also reort manager. please help me out of this issue. 
    Thank you.

    Hi NB515,
    In Reporting Services, if we connect to Report Manager out of domain, then we need provide a domain username and password can we access to it. If you want to skip this step, you can configure anonymous access for the report server. However,anonymous access
    is not recommended as it may give direct access to your report server or report projects to any one who know the URL of your Reporting Services. But in case you still want to try it, you can refer to the link below to see it:
    http://blog.quasarinc.com/ssrs/sql-server-reporting-services-2012-anonymous-access/
    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

  • User access log

    Hi,
    Anybody has any idea how to extract the user access history in SAP? It's to be served as the audit log for security purpose.
    regards,
    sianghing

    Hi,
    There are quite a few threads discussing the similar requests.  However, it is not currently supported.  What you can do now is to have a regular alert query running in a fixed internal like an hour to record the active users.  Those records could be saved in a user table for your audit purpose.
    Thanks,

  • Domain Users access to Remote Desktop Apps fails

    Can somebody bring a light to this issue?
    Our domain users are getting NO apps from the collection, when  they should get at least the Full MS Office 2013 Pro apps suite that was published to the collection without any user restrictions...
    Are they supposed to be member of the RDP Group or what else we missed during the settings?
    Also, when trying to access from IE using the link https:// [FQDN] /rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx (FQDN omitted for security reasons) they get a prompt to download the file "WebFeedlogin.aspx" as son as they successfully authenticate with their
    credentials...
    FYI: All users member of Domain Admin group are working just fine...
    Thank you in advance for your time and effort to solve this! ;)

    Hi Marcio,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    After going through your comment, I would say that to access RemoteApp by user they must be member of Remote Desktop User local group also. Apart you can go through below article for configuration related setting.

    Also i would like to record the users who had connected to my linux server (using putty) please suggest a method.Take a look in /var/log e.g. wtmp (if such file name exists, and use man command on the file names to learn their usage). Should at least help identify telnet/ssh sessions.

  • Blocked user accessing log in screen

    Hello all
    I have the EA4500 router with cisco connect cloud, must say this router is great for limiting kids online.
    1 question I have however is the ability for a blocked user (internet access block) that is redirected to the cisco web site and presented with a log in screen. Is there anyway I can disable this becuase the kids stay up all night trying to figure out the password to log in, I just want it to say internet access blocked with no option for logging in for the blocked user.

    This is could be how they designed that feature to work. I agree with jaymay
    I believe that I can make it

  • Domain Users are not able to log in to Domain Computers - Administrators are able to do so

    I have Primary Domain Controller and Secondary one, The users can log in to both as I have changed the locally Policy to allow Domain users to log in. 
    But I am having problem with users who can not log in to computers joined the domain. I noticed that ONLY Administrators allowed to log in locally in the Policy and if want to add users, i will not be able to do so as Adding Users or Group is Disabled. 
    Advise is appreciated. 

    Hi,
    Please follow the below steps for checking whether either "Allow Logon Locally" or "Deny Logon Locally" is enabled in the default policy, 
    1. Go to start -> run -> tupe GPMC.MSC, to open Group Policy Management Console.
    2. In the  Group Policy Management Console,right click and edit the default policy and navigate to the node "Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment".
    3. In the "User Rights Assignment" node, check whether the options "Deny log on locally" or "Allow Logon Locally" are
    defined and groups added to those options to confirm the logon problem of domain users.
    NOTE: Also check the local policy, as you have mentioned "I have Primary Domain
    Controller and Secondary one, The users can log in to both as I have changed the locally Policy to allow Domain users to log in."

  • Domain Users AD group disappearing from SharePoint security

    After applying SharePoint 2010 SP2 and the September 2014 cumulative update (KB 2883103) to our SP2010 farm, we've discovered the system is automatically removing the 'Domain Users' active
    directory group from SharePoint security.  It's not affecting any other AD groups or users or when Domain Users is a member of a SharePoint group.  Only when Domain Users has been explicitly added to a site, library, list or document.
    For example, we give Domain Users access to the root of most our site collections and then break inheritance for certain libraries or lists that need more security.  Now Domain Users has disappeared from every site.  I can say
    with 100% confidence that this has not been done by anyone in the organization.  Nothing else changed besides SP2 and Sept2014 CU. 
    Yesterday we fixed a few sites by re-adding Domain Users.  This morning those were missing again, so it must be a timer job or other cleanup process that is causing this.  Again, this does not affect SharePoint groups/membership or any other
    AD object, only Domain Users.
    Has anyone ran into this issue or have any suggestions on a resolution?  We have enabled audit logging but have not seen any related logs yet. 

    Sometime between noon and 1:00pm this afternoon we lost the Domain Users group again from all sites where we re-added it.  Audit logging is showing this for one particular site:
    {072c340a-42cb-4861-a182-38102b53bc52}
    {072c340a-42cb-4861-a182-38102b53bc52}

    Does anyone know if any additional logging can be enabled to see WHY this is occurring?
    So far our solution has been to setup another AD security group and nest the domain users security group inside.  Not exactly a solution but at least a work around. 

  • Could not start the listener with a domain user

    Hi all,
    I am working on Windows 2003 with Oracle 10.2.0.2 !
    With user "local system account", I can start the listener and I have no problems!
    after chaning the user that runs the listener from local system account to a domain user, I cannot start the listener again!
    (for the oracle service itself for the database, is it possible to change the user from local system to that domain user without problems)
    attached the error message when starting the listener with cmd.
    by starting the listener with the restart of the windows service, the listener crashed down after a few minutes
    do I have to set additional permissions for that domain user?
    thanks in advance

    Cause:     Normal "end of file" condition has been reached; partner has disconnected.

    The most important is the tns-12560 error message, this means that an unsupported protocol exception was raised. Assuming you are using the same environment configuration when starting the listener with the local account and starting it with the domain authenticated user, then it has to do with permissions. Both the local administrator account and the domain authenticated user must belong to the ORA_DBA group, otherwise the user won't have enough privileges to start the listener.
    On the other hand, make sure the sqlnet.ora file includes this line:
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
    If you use a domain user name, log on under a domain with username and password which has administrative privileges on each node

  • Looking for Suggestions on granting all users access to an application *except a subset of users*

    This might not be the right forum for this question, but since it is related to an App-V application I figured I would try since this may have come up for some of you.  I am looking for the best way to grant all Domain Users access to an application
    except for Domain Admins.  Using the Full App-V infrastructure, I want to grant access to the App-V UI via User Targeting, but I don't want to allow Domain Admins access.  The reason for this is because when we make updates to provisioned
    server cores (stateless), we login with our Admin accounts to make modifications to the cores, and I would like to reduce the steps that need to be taken at the end to ensure that all AppV applications are removed before sealing up the core. 
    Currently, Domain Admins do not have access to any App-V applications, so this process is fairly clean.  All applications are User Targeted. 
    Packages are cached on a persistent D drive on each server, so the issue is that the registry, programdata, and packageinstallationroot become out of sync if packages are pulled down during core modifications after the core is attached to other servers (hence
    other D drives).  Because of this, Machine Targeting is not an option for this either.
