Piloting a Windows sign-in audit
I tested a way to collect physical workstation sign-ins for authorised review, with a separate status report to show whether collection ran.
What changed
I used Group Policy to schedule a PowerShell collection task on Windows workstations. It was designed to report physical workstation sign-ins and write a separate collection status file.
What I checked
The first pilot could not write to the reporting folder. After correcting the test computer’s permissions, I confirmed that it produced both the sign-in CSV and the status CSV in the designated folder.
What I learned
Testing under the scheduled task’s own identity is essential. A manual run under my account would have missed the write-permission problem. The recorded result covers one pilot workstation.
