How do I log a particular user login event in my active directory

in flag

I have to log a particular "install" user logon in my Active directory. This user has the admin rights to install software and I need to understand where and who is using it.

My first attemp was to create a powershell script to send me a log email triggered by a scheduled task raised with event id 4624 (logon).

The script filters the username to discard all other logins and send the email. To access event viewer data I used a "task user" with required grants.

I had to disable this task because it was triggered by many events, I may say all user and computer logins in my network. For each login the triggered task was raised using the "task user" triggering another logon event. This logon triggers another event and so on...

How can I monitor "install" logins in my network without falling into a storm of log events?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
