Is there a tool or utility that will monitor who in AD is currently
authenticated and perhaps what they are accessing through out the domain ?
 
Nothing I have heard of, it would be quite pricey if it existed, this isn't a
trivial exercise and is quite likely to not be right at any given time.
 
Hi,

Years ago I used logon and logoff scripts that appended username,
computername, date/time, and IP address to log files, one per site. However
this gets unwieldy in a large network. I loaded the text log files into
Excel and filtered on the users or computers of interest. I used the logs
for statistics, like number of logons per site per day, and to determine
which computers were used the most. Sometimes management wanted to use them
to prove inappropriate activity.
