Because that would make too much sense?

That is pretty much the point of this thread... to get someone to try that. I don't have an iPod nor do I know anyone personally that has one. I do know a lot of people that visit here have iPods, though...

I know all about the different preventative measures a lot of people are suggesting, and I do not care to enforce any of them. I didn't ask for preventative measures.

I don't think you can legally ask someone to hand over their iPod for you to match numbers. I'm probably wrong though.

You can legally ask someone to do a lot of things... just can't force them to.

Neener.

It's probably better to warn the person who left the station logged in.

The normal user of the computer is disgusted and doesn't want to sit in her chair. This was also done on company timeand property. The user has been warned and re-warned to log off of the system when she leaves.

I would hope that she now has a crystal clear understanding that she should log off the machine whenever she leaves for the night, and thus this will not happen again.

Yeah, it is a 12-digit serial number for Ipods....that should be it

The serial number printed on the back of my ipod is: U23270VHNRH

If I plug it in and watch the event viewer, nothing shows up there. I looked under "Application", "security", and "System". No new events show up when plugging-in or unplugging an iPod.

Edit: tried it again on a different machine. Same thing, no event recorded.

There are "information" events in the "system log" of this computer... containing data similar to what I included in the OP. Nothing like that?

Screenshot

Those are the newest messages. Yes there are "information" messages farther down in the log, but none from plugging in the ipod.

Why would you even tell the regular user? How does this affect her at all?

My question is why anyone other than the logged-in user would be blamed for this. Why do you think she didn't do it?

Clearly because of two reasons: a) she is a woman and we know they can't be guilty of these heinous acts and b) she feigned disgust and surprise.

Well played!

Is anything recorded in setupapi.log?

The regular user is who brought this to my attention to begin with. Her internet history was being deleted and settings were being changed on her computer.
She wouldn't be blamed, because this happened long after she had left the premises. The only thing she is to be blamed for is not completing the log off process after I suggested she do it every day.

So she's out for blood, and you want to be her hero. How cute.

The real question is.. Why would Itunes be installed on a work computer?
