Re: Windows Log

[List Spam <listspam () gmail com>]

There are many types of logins that can be performed in an an AD
environment.  Among these are full desktop logins by a user (aka
interactive login), non-interactive network logins (e.g. mount a
share), computer accounts authenticating to the domain, etc.

I would venture a guess that you don't want to disallow the ability to
log other security events, but want to easily find login events of
some type (see above) without having to wade through the full set of
logged data.  If this is the case, you could simply filter the logs to
show the event id that is specific to the action you are looking to
see.

You could use the built-in "Event Viewer" application for it,
EventCombMT (Google it), one of the resource kit log dumping
utilitities, VBScripts, or just about anything else to export this
info.  Some VBScript examples are below:

I dare say that if you're trying to audit security on a box, you don't
want to hack up the data collection facility, but want to simply get
better use from that data.

My two cetns.
