Question Collecting & Displaying of Last User ID and Date of Last Login
Hi,

I needed to write a script to "Collect and Display the Last User ID and Date of Last Login".

The requirement is:
When a workstation stops reporting it could be for many reasons. If we know the last person who logged in before the workstation came down, then we can contact the last person to login to that specific machine and ask them if they know what has happened to the workstation.

Can someone provide a script to "Collecting & Displaying of Last User ID and Date of Last Login".

Thanks in advance,
amittal
