<p class=MsoNormal>We have a large number of XP Virtual Machines that are used
for various software testing requirements. The testers are supposed to notify
their supervisor when an XP instance is no longer required. Unfortunately that
isn’t working very well. The end result is that there are a large number
of XP instances sitting doing nothing for long periods of time. Ideally, I’d
love to receive a notification in the event that any XP instance hasn’t
been used for x period of time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As the machines are accessed by the testers solely via RDP,
I was thinking that if I could determine how long it had been since someone had
logged into the machine I would be able to judge which machines had been
abandoned and remove them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I was mulling over using a WMI check to pull what I need
from Win32_NetworkLoginProfile but I’m not getting anything returned that
I know how to make use of.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone had a need to perform a check like this in the
past or can anyone offer any advice as to where else I should start looking?<o:p></o:p></p>
