Monitor for a specific user autologin

mitchp

Hi,

I would like to monitor if a specific user is logged in.  We have a specific user account that automatically logs in when a Windows machine is booted up.  We need to know if that account was successful in logging in or not.  Ideally, it would return a status of "up" if the user is logged in or a status of "down" if the user is not currently logged in. 

For example, if userA is logged in, it would return a status of "up".  If userB is logged in, it would return a status of down.  Also, if no one was logged in, it would also return a status of down.

We'd then like to display this in a custom table with the server name, username, and whether status is up or down.

You can use a custom powershell script to check for the logged on users, filtered for the account you want to check.  Set up a condition where if the account is not it should exit with a 1 (Down), otherwise exit with a 0, you will need a statistic but honestly for a simple check like this you could just hard code in any number as the stat value.
