    How do I track user account activity on a Domain(Windows Server 2008)

    Hi Guys,

    I'm a trying to track user activity (log on and off details etc) on a windows server 2008 domain controller could someone point me in the right direction?

    I have tried googling on how to do this but I'm confuse as not everything matches up to what they are saying.

    Thanks!

    Sorry I should say view not track as the system is already tracking it.

    Each time I try to run a filter by the user account name I end up with 0 results.

    Activation says linked to your Microsoft account, how do you sell it?

    No need to create any user accounts.

    Step 1.) Clean install Windows 10, the same edition you are currently using and which is digitally licensed. Be sure to delete all existing partitions and install to unallocated space!

    Step 2.) When you arrive to region selection screen, press SHIFT + F10 (press and hold SHIFT key, press F10 key and release both keys). This will open Command Prompt:

    Step 3.) Enter following command and press Enter to shut down PC:

    shutdown -s -t 0 -f

    That's it. PC will be shut down, when the new owner will power on it first time it will be like a first boot of a new computer, letting new owner to select region and keyboard, set up user account and select privacy options.

    Agree with what Barman58 posted. It's not linked to your Microsoft Account forever. Clean install Windows, give that PC a different ID, log in with a local account. Or just stop the install at the OOBE like he said. Then just delete that device from your list of devices under your Microsoft Account. When the new owner logs in with their Microsoft ID it will be linked to their account. The linked to your Microsoft account is just an extra feature, it doesn't affect activation. I can, and have logged in with a local account on a clean install and my PC activates with its digital license just fine. Its not listed under my devices, but that no big deal to me. As soon as I log in with my Microsoft ID it appears again.
