Answer 1

Tweaking Bill's query a bit. You might have to truncate the date before grouping to count only one login per day...

SELECT UserId from History 
WHERE CreationDate > ( now() - n )
GROUP BY UserId, 
DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, CreationDate), 0) AS TruncatedCreationDate  
HAVING COUNT(TruncatedCreationDate) >= n

EDITED to use DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, CreationDate), 0) instead of convert( char(10) , CreationDate, 101 ).

@IDisposable I was looking to use datepart earlier but i was too lazy to look up the syntax so i figured i d use convert instead. I dint know it had a significant impact Thanks! now i know.
