Get logon and logoff times for user

I know there are some issues with this and it should depend on some lag in replication times. To be really accurate you should be auditing these events and running this on your DC’s but for a quick and dirty option to get the times for a users on a specific server you can run the following script.

I got the base of this somewhere and had to alter it to do what i needed. I lost the initial location  in the process.  If you find it let me know so I can provide credit

function Get-LogonHistory {
$logons = Get-EventLog Security -AsBaseObject -InstanceId 4624,4647 |
Where-Object { ($_.InstanceId -eq 4647) `
-or (($_.InstanceId -eq 4624) -and ($_.Message -match "Logon Type:\s+2")) `
-or (($_.InstanceId -eq 4624) -and ($_.Message -match "Logon Type:\s+10")) }
$poweroffs = Get-EventLog System -AsBaseObject -InstanceId 41
$events = $logons + $poweroffs | Sort-Object TimeGenerated
if ($events) {
foreach($event in $events) {
# Parse logon data from the Event.
if ($event.InstanceId -eq 4624) {
# A user logged on.
$action = 'logon'
$event.Message -match "Logon Type:\s+(\d+)" | Out-Null
$logonTypeNum = $matches[1]
# Determine logon type.
if ($logonTypeNum -eq 2) {
$logonType = 'console'
} elseif ($logonTypeNum -eq 10) {
$logonType = 'remote'
} else {
$logonType = 'other'
}
# Determine user.
if ($event.message -match "New Logon:\s*Security ID:\s*.*\s*Account Name:\s*(\w+)") {
$user = $matches[1]
} else {
$index = $event.index
Write-Warning "Unable to parse Security log Event. Malformed entry? Index: $index"
}
} elseif ($event.InstanceId -eq 4647) {
# A user logged off.
$action = 'logoff'
$logonType = $null
# Determine user.
if ($event.message -match "Subject:\s*Security ID:\s*.*\s*Account Name:\s*(\w+)") {
$user = $matches[1]
} else {
$index = $event.index
Write-Warning "Unable to parse Security log Event. Malformed entry? Index: $index"
}
} elseif ($event.InstanceId -eq 41) {
# The computer crashed.
$action = 'logoff'
$logonType = $null
$user = '*'
}
# As long as we managed to parse the Event, print output.
if ($user=$username) {
$timeStamp = Get-Date $event.TimeGenerated
$output = New-Object -Type PSCustomObject
