        I thought you were looking to track down rogue users. In any case, you can
export the Event logs into a comma delimited text file, which you can
import into either a database or spreadsheet for analysis. (If you have
Exchange Server, the CD includes a copy of Crystal Reports.)

        Just be sure to increase the maximum size of the Security event log to a
few megabytes... Each of the 3 event logs is independently sized.

        There probably is a utility out there that can do this; but at least this
method is easily done.

        Cheers!
