There is no such file but if you enable auditing of account logon events for
Domain Controller Security Policy and logon events for Domain Security
Policy or Local Security Policy most of that information is available in the
security logs in Event Viewer. You can use the free Event Comb to scan the
security logs of multiple computer or buy a third party program that can
centralize certain security log events. LanGuard has such a program and I
believe they offer a thirty day trial. --- Steve
