Does anyone know of a way to remotely see who is logged into a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation in realtime? I need to find out if users are using unauthorized IDs while they are doing it.

Using Event Viewer only works if you auditing enabled. I need to do it without using aduiting.

I agree with the posted answer. However, if you use a product like Net xray, you can see what they are doing, where they are going, even the passwords they use to access system.

I'm not sure why you couldn't find NetXray??? I typed into Yahoo and got about 500 hits back all dealing with where to get it. Computer associates has bought it and it is now called sniffer basic. Anyway... sorry you rejected my answer, but there isno easy way of doing this without 3rd party stuff given your specific needs. I wish there was a quicker way but then again if everything in IT was this easy people like you and me wouldn't have jobs I guess.

I found netxray, however it would not install correctly on a W2K Pro machine. I just figured since there are so many tools to do things in NT there should be one to find out who is logged onto a machine. I guess Ill have to write it myself.
