3.14. Finding the Number of Logon Attempts Made Against a Domain Controller
Problem
You want to find the number of logon requests a domain controller has processed.
Solution
The following query returns the number of logon requests processed:
> nltest /server:<DomainControllerName> /LOGON_QUERYDiscussion
The nltest /LOGON_QUERY command is a wrapper
around the I_NetLogonControl2 method, and can be
useful to determine how many logon requests are being processed by a
server. Viewing the results of the command over a period of time and
comparing them against a server in the same domain can also tell you
if one server is being used significantly more or less than the
others.
