Want to skip the whole clocking in to work..
Cool, let's use PowerShell instead with asynchronous pings!!
Let's say we have 172.1.1.1... and all employees connect within this range.
At 8:10 AM we can run a scheduled task to ping all our guys, eh? All computers should be shutting down overnight.. or laptops coming and going. Otherwise people pinged at midnight could be talked to, eh?
This is going to be based off https://ciphers.pw/threads/scanning-windows-network-for-defense-rapidly.8130/ - but you do not need to go there.
Long story short, you could do something like this:
Then with all those results, I would ping all the hostnames of the ADComputer employees in the office for example. Any questions? Please ask.. tried to make this simple.
You could also remove the user input aspect to fully automate this to keep track of who is signed in, and what times!?
