Activity report for Windows – See what a user has been doing

Post image for Activity report for Windows – See what a user has been doing

.

I ran across an awesome little tool recently.

It is called LastActivityView from NirSoft

The program collects information from various sources, and can show you an activity report for a system that includes:

-Folders accessed

-System logon, shutdown, sleep times

-Software installation time

-Crashes

-System restore point creation

When you launch it, it loads almost immediately with the latest info:

You can even export the data to HTML.

It is a nice little utility to add to your flash drive. Can really help when you are trying to get a timeline of who did what.

Download it from our archive

Thanks Steve.How do i view last activity of any computer within the domain?this one seems to view last activity of the local computer only

I think you might be able to do this by pointing it at the domain controller. I could be wrong since it is possible MS uses a different set of events for domain user activity.
