Hello,

I have someone who accessed my AX session from another machine. Is there a way in AX that will allow me to know from which machine I was able to access my session?

Best Regards

    Check SysUserLog table, it might contain the workstation name. I'm not sure, though.

    HI Nikolaos,

    the SysUserLog Table does not contain the name of the machine but only the name of the session which is mine. Example: my session is called j.hbj. in the SysUserLog Table, I find j.hbj but it was not me who accessed my session that day.

    Best Regards

    Then you need to ask your IT admin if they have logs about the AD logins. It could be possible to have a log that shows list of computers where some AD user signed in.

    Hi,

    Our IT administrator has no idea on this point. I saw in structure of the SysUserLog table the Fields part which contains the list of fields without the name of the

    machine but in the Field Groups part, we have the Identification field which contains ComputerName but I don't know how to access this information.

    Best Regards

    Do you mean that you don't see this field in table browser? Or what do you mean by not having idea how to access it?

    If it's set as not visible, you can print it via x++ job or check directly in the database. Any AX technical expert should be able to check it for you. Perhaps your IT can help find someone to check it?

    Hello,


    In summary, I want to know is that AX memorizes somewhere the reference of the computer from which one opened a session AX.


    We have 10 computers that can have access to the same AX session and I would like to have a summary of the computers that opened this same session. is it

    possible ?

    Best Regards

    Yes, that's clear. Either this info is already in SysUserLog or you can save it there via customization (it definetely is shown in Online users form). I don't have a system at hand so I can't check right now.

    Could you clarify, perhaps with screenshots, what you meant by

    "I saw in structure of the SysUserLog table the Fields part which contains the list of fields without the name of the machine but in the Field Groups part, we have the Identification field which contains ComputerName but I don't know how to access this information."

    By the way, are you using all these workstations, and if not, are the AX users licensed properly? Why are they all using the same account?

    Hi Jamal,

    Nikolaos asked for some more details. I haven't seen your replies on his questions. But actually, you are asking for more news.

    Many years ago, we were in the need to see which users did access AX with a wrong (not updated) AX client. We were able to get that info. I'm not sure if we got it from the table mentioned above or that we did it in a different way. I don't have an environment running where I can check it to refresh my memory.

    I do think this is more related to Active Directory administration. Do you have system administrators who can check the event logs of the client machines for that specific day and time range? You mention only 10 clients machines. That is doable by checking the client and AOS logs.

    Anyhow, I would suggest to change your password to prevent someone using your credentials in the systems.
